Real Time Cognitive Response Recording (RTCRR, "Arti-car") is Schubert's own development of ESL, but completely reprogrammed to be usable under MAC OS X 10. The interface is very much designed for flexibility and there are many settings for both the visual display and the export of the results. It offers the option to use one or both axes, to label the axes with different terms (see Figure 3.6) and furthermore an improvement of the sample rate and the output format. The position in the 2DES is indicated along the axes with two sliders, the mouse pointer is optionally visualized with the common worm in variable length. All audio and multimedia formats supported by Quicktime can be used as stimuli. Movies are displayed in the upper left corner of the "Question" window. After the measurement, where data is saved in an internal format, can be exported in desired sample rate between 1 and 30 Hz, so that an output format usable for a statistics program of choice is created as in Figure 3.8. However, when the beta version was released in 2007, the maximum sample rate of 30 Hz was a rather theoretical value that was severely limited by computer performance and use of feedback options, especially the worm. It is explained how a test run can be used to find out what the approximate maximum sampling rate is (Schubert 2012). This indicates that the program internally collects the data event-based and does not read the position of the mouse at intervals of a certain time.
