IDTest is a Java application that we use in the lab for the measurement of the performance of users with cursor control devices. You may download a copy of this application if you agree to the terms of this License Agreement. Please keep a copy of the license agreement with your copy of the program. A copy of these files should be distributed along with any copy of the program. A diskette or other media containing the program should have the copyright notice "Copyright IBM, 1999" on the label.
The instructions for using the program are in IDTest.html, which is included in the zip package .
This Java archive will run on any platform for which you have Java runtime support (a Java virtual machine or Java just-in-time compiler). You can get a copy from SUN or Apple.
The zip file IDTest12.zip contains the entire package, including the Java archive which contains the test application, IDTest.jar (about 3 MB), the file jcchart350S.jar which contains classes for data plotting, the help file IDTest.html, and the optional ini file IDTest.ini .
The zip file IDTest1_6.zip contains the entire package, including the Java archive which contains the test application, IDTest.jar (about 124 KB), the file jcchart361J.jar which contains classes for data plotting, the help file IDTest.html, and the optional ini file IDTest.ini . Version 1.6 has additional features, including a new Drag experiment and sound effects.
The zip file IDTest18.zip contains
the entire package for IDTest version 1.8.
Version 1.8 adds improved time resolution on Windows 95/98/NT, and
cursor tracking on some experiments.
The zip file IDTest23.ZIP contains
the
entire package for IDTest version 2.3.
Edit (and rename it if you like) the ini file to set up the experimental parameters, and include the name of the file as a command line argument. For example: java -classpath d:\my...folders\IDTest.jar;d:\my...folders\jcchart350S.jar;%classpath% com.ibm.almaden.basmith.IDTest.IDTestApp IDTest.ini .
The main application "IDTestApp" is in the package
"com.ibm.almaden.basmith.IDTest".
To run it, you must specifi the complete name. For example, "SET
CLASSPATH=c:\myfolders\IDTest.jar;c:\myfolders\jcchart350S.jar;%classpath%".
Then run the main application class from a command line like this:
"java com.ibm.almaden.basmith.IDTest.IDTestApp".
For the Symantec Java! Just InTime Compiler for Windows, try it like
this: java -classpath
d:\myfolders\IDTest.jar;d:\myfolders\jcchart350S.jar;%classpath%
com.ibm.almaden.basmith.IDTest.IDTestApp . The Just in Time Compiler is
the current default Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) for Windows that you can download from Sun.
You will probably want to create a batch file or other command script to issue the "java" or 'jre" command with all the options.
