Parameters (Questionnaire Files)
QuickInfo
This is about as difficult as MediaLab gets. Parameters supply additional information for
the presentation of certain questionnaire items. Most are optional but a few are required
for certain item types. Parameters can be given in any order, must be separated by
commas, and the entire set must be enclosed in a single set of parentheses. Note that
parameters also can be set for background, backsound, and backvideo files following
the same rules except that their parameters are entered after the filename rather than in
the parameters field.
