| + | |||
| + | This would make the second segment have durations of either 1 2 or 8 seconds with the 1 second one having a probability of 0.8 and the others having 0.1 probability. You can also specify multiple segments to have different durations like: | ||

| + | task.segprob{3} = [0.8 0.1 0.1]; | ||

Note that when using synchToVol it is a good idea to make the segment for which you are waiting for a volume acquisition to happen slightly shorter than you actually want. This way the segment time will be finished and it will be waiting for the volume acquisition to continue. |

If your button list is [1 2 3 4 5] and the user presses "5", you will get back "5". If your button list is [5] and the user presses "5", you will get back "1". |
