Starting The Server

If you have created your experiment, then you are ready to run an experiment session. To verify that your experiment is ready to run and to start the Marketlink, click on "Experiments" in the "User Menu" box on the left side of this page.

When the experiment is set up, you'll see that in the "Actions" column for your experiment session, there is a button labelled "Run" on the right side of the "Experiments" page. Click on the 'Run' button to show the Marketlink Experimenter screen for your session. (If you see a File Download dialog box after you click 'Run', click Open to open the window.)

Them you will be asked to accept the terms of use in order to run the experiment. Once you accepted the agreement, the server setup window will pop up.

On the experimenter's server setup screen, the experimenter will be able to see each subject join the session.  The experimenter may then start the session when all of the subjects have joined the experiment.
