Martin,
You could just copy the bcst folder to the shared directory, and run it
from there (instead of Documents\pebl-exp.0.13). The only wrinkle is that
the launcher starts in pebl-exp folder, so you'd have to navigate there
each time. But you could create a .bat file (see blog posting at
http://peblblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/different-ways-to-run-pebl-experiment.html
should be fairly accurate).
The other alternative is to change where the data is saved by editing the
.pbl file (using notepad++ for example). I'm not 100% sure if
network-based files will work, but essentially where the .pbl file opens
any file (e.g., file <- FileOpenWrite() or FileOpenOverwrite(), change the
filename so it leads to that complete path. Something like:
fileout <- FileOpenWrite("I:\path\to\shared\directory\bcst-"+subnum+".csv")
I know that students of mine have used this before, but I'm not sure how
my university sets up its network to make it easy to do.
Either way, take care that you enforce unique subject naming on different
computers so you don't reuse subject codes. PEBL shouldn't overwrite a
data file that exists or is in use; it appends a number to the data
filename if you try to reuse it with FileOpenWrite(). However, if you are
running two studies simultaneously, you could get in theory some kind of
collision where two sessions try to write to the same file and your data
gets mixed together strangely. There may be some logging files or pooled
data files in the bcst test where this would be more likely to happen.
Best,
Shane
