TIME DELAY / INTENSITY

   ***   Notes on Time Delay / Time Intensity   ***
   ------------------------------------------------

   Time Delay
   ----------
     This is the most common 'Time' type used in questionnaires.
     A specific timed delay, you select exact delay duration, panelist pauses and waits.
     Time counter begins when panelist comes to time delay screen.
       Said another way:  No matter how fast the panelist got to time delay screen, 
                          panelist will wait for your selected exact delay duration.
     Upon time delay completion, panelist is automatically taken to next page of questionnaire.
     This is the most common used time delay type used in Questionnaires.


   Time Intensity
   --------------
     A specific timed delay, you select exact delay duration, panelist pauses and waits.
     Time counter begins at onset of current sample presentation.
       Said another way:  No matter how fast the panelist got to time delay screen, 
                          panelist will wait until your selected exact delay duration
                          has transpired since the onset of the current sample presentation.
                          All Panelists are forced to proceed thru questionnaire in time sync.
     Upon time delay completion, panelist is automatically taken to next page of questionnaire.


   Navigation Bar, Sample Blinding Code and Counts
     For the above two Time types,  the Navigational Bar is set Invisible during the delay/countdown.


   Optional Image File  (above two Time Types only)
   ------------------------------------------------
     An Image file (jpg, bmp, or gif) may be optionally displayed as part of the Instruction Text.
     SIMS 2000 looks for a TAGGED indicator of your desired Image File in the body of the text.
     Tag Syntax : <IMG [BORDER] SRC=path\filename.ext>
            Example : <IMG SRC=S:\Server\Images\MyImage.jpg>
            Example : <IMG SRC=\\Server\Share\Images\MyImage.jpg>
            Example : <IMG BORDER SRC=C:\SIMS2000\Images\MyImage.jpg>
            Example : <IMG BORDER SRC=*:\Program Files\Images\MyImage.jpg>
     You may use the Optional Image Button to automatically write the required tag for your image file.
     Only one Image file is supported for a time delay question.
     Image will always appear after your text in the Question/Instruction.
     Image indent from left edge by using spaces in front of the Tag.
     Note: Please be sure that your panelists PCs can see the Image File and location on
           Network.  Your C: Drive is Not usually visible to Panelist PCs.
