ipseus software

Folks, the software dedicated to the approach I talk about on this blog can be downloaded from http://www.ipseus.com/software/ipseus.zip

This zip file contains the ISA instrument editing, data collection and analysis package called ipseus. Use the ipseus.msi file to install the software.

The zip also contains a small standalone data collection module called participate. Simply copy the 'participate' directory wherever you need it, for example, onto a USB stick.

There is also an experimental instrument display that completely randomizes the instrument when people sit it. You can enable this randomization by creating a simple text file called settings.ini into your 'participate' directory. 

The settings.ini file should contain the following text:

[RespondLayoutControl]

RandomSeed=1

[RespondLayoutControl.End]

If you want to enable the same randomization inside of the ipseus program as well, also copy your settings.ini file into the ipseus installation directory (usually 'C:\Program Files\Identity Exploration\ipseus').

Please be aware that this is a local setting only. If you need multiple people collecting data you will have to make sure that everyone makes this local change. Alternatively package everything up with your own tailored version of participate for data collection. Future versions of ipseus will allows these options to be stored with the instrument [See Addendum below], or be on-line eventually.

If you are having a workshop with Professor Peter Weinreich, then he likes to use different settings that the default ones. You can change settings from the 'Options > Settings' menu. Peter's settings are shown below:

 

I'll add more posts on instrument creation, collection and analysis in time.

[ADDENDUM]

So there is a new version of the software with an extra tab in the Instrument screen now to save your settings with the data. Check it out!
