Easy-to-Use Interface
TimerData has an easy-to-use interface, making the collecting, reporting and coding processes simple and fast.

Here's what TimerData's interface looks like: (Click on the image for an enlarged view.)

New Script Functions

• Script Coding and Sorting: User can apply codes to text in the script. TimerData will then sort the script text by codes, arranging all evidence of particular behaviors together for easier study and reporting.
• Spell Check: Find and correct spelling and grammar errors.

New Timer Functions

• Mutually Exclusive Timer Keys: User can program timers to turn off automatically in response to other timers being turned on. This eliminates the need for the user to manually switch off one behavior if a mutually exclusive behavior occurs.
• Elapsed Time and/or Number of Occurrence Capability: User can determine if the function key will activate the clock to measure elapsed time or the counter function to record number of occurrences. If recording only the number of occurrences, the user need hit the function key only once. If the elapsed time feature is activated, user hits key once to start the timer and again to stop the timer.

New Reporting Features

• Analysis of Behaviors vs. Conditions: TimerData will determine the degree to which targeted behaviors occur under different observational conditions. TimerData reports data on up to 9 behaviors under 3 conditions or up to 10 behaviors under 2 conditions.
• Timer Key Press Sequences: TimerData reports the start and stop time for each instance of targeted behaviors, thus creating a behavioral log. The log can be reported in natural chronological order to allow to determine the interaction of behaviors or it can be sorted by behaviors to allow the user to study individual behaviors in isolation.

New Graphing Features

• Multiple Observation Graphing: Up to 10 observations can be displayed simultaneously in a color-coded multiple-line graph. The graph will show change over time. User can view various aspects of the data: Percentage of observation time, number of occurrences, raw elapsed time. Graphs can show entire observation or behaviors vs. condition data. This feature can also be used to compare several observers' data of the same observational setting.

Other Features

• Windows XP Professional and Vista users can use built-in speech recognition capabilities to dictate comments into reports and observation script.
• Adobe Writer users can convert reports into documents which can be saved and e-mailed.
