Check 'create tab...' to save a second file for each assay that has a simple data format suitable for use by spreadsheets.
Check 'Play event...' to have the program attempt to anticipate the next key stroke 1 event. Alter the lead time to change how many standard deviations before the mean the prediction will sound. This applies only to the key defined as key 1.
Check 'Play time warning' to provide audible feedback about the passage of time during an assay. Useful to indicate the end of a predetermined assay length. Use the box to enter the time interval for the warning.
