Shown below is another calibration run from the same PC but with scheduling set to “High”
(the same mode experiment generators typically run in). Close attention should be paid to
the scale on the Y axis and the “Tick Variance” figure displayed in the spreadsheet. The
more processor cycles or ticks that are required per sample the worse any software will
perform. In short, other factors can begin to adversely affect timing precision even when
running a recognised experiment generator. For example, other unknown processes can
interrupt stimulus display or reaction time measurement leading to a spurious result.
Unknown processes can include virus checkers, network activity, unruly drivers etc.
