E-Prime 2.0 and E-Prime 2.0 Professional

    E-Prime is a suite of applications for designing and running experiments and for managing your data. The applications together provide a powerful and flexible means of covering all the steps from initial design through to data processing within a single environment.

    The application suite includes:
    E-Studio, a graphical environment for creating experiments.
    E-Basic, the underlying scripting language of E-Prime. E-Studio provides access to E-Basic, enabling you to specify non-standard operations or objects not specifically addressed within the graphical interface of E-Studio.
    E-Run, the environment for running subjects, with a high level of precision for stimulus presentation, synchronisation and data collection.
    E-Merge, supporting the combination of single-session data files into multi-session data files whilst mainitaining a history of each data file.
    E-DataAid, a data management utility specific to E-Prime with data security and flexible options for filtering, editing and exporting data for analysis in external packages.

    We are currently supplying “release candidate” versions of E-Prime 2.0 and E-Prime 2.0 Professional, close to the final release version. Registered users will be able to download additional modifications up to and including the final release from the Psychology Software Tools website.

    For more details, see the E-Prime FAQ page on the PST website

Network licences

    Site licences are no longer supported, but network licences are available for E-Prime 2.0 Professional. Licences are based on the number of concurrent seats purchased (minimum of 10). The number of concurrent seats purchased corresponds to the number of copies of the E-Prime software that can be used on the network simultaneously for experiment design.

    For every 10 concurrent network seats purchased, users will additionally receive two complimentary E-Prime 2.0 Professional Single User Licenses (can be used when not connected to the local network). Each site will receive one network licence key which may be attached to any machine running on the local network via a USB port. All other machines on the network will check for the existence of this key when the E-Prime software is launched and will permit the launch to continue only if there are additional seats currently available.

    The E-Prime 2.0 Professional Network system is identical to the E-Prime 2.0 Professional Single User system in regards to its capabilities and features. However, the network licence offers more efficient and centralised control by supporting the ‘ghosting’ of lab machines from a single software image. This allows significant cost and time savings when imaging, deploying, migrating and managing systems
