By using tr=2, delta psd = 2 (ie, --pwdwin 0 20 2), and tnullmax=2, you are forcing each null to be exactly 0 or 2 sec, and optseq is having a hard time with such a hard constraint. You can try changing delta psd to 1.

Hi, I am having a related problem: I don't want 0-events that last longer than a normal trial (2 sec) and lead to the fact that the number of a TR (2sec) in the run is not equal to the number of trials. Setting --tnullmax 2 produces an error:
ERROR: could not enforce tNullMax (ntries=100000) ERROR: syntheszing schedule
Does it make sense to use optseq with this many restrictions at all?
My command: --ntp 200 --tr 2 --psdwin 0 20 2 --ev singles 2 30 --ev pairs 2 30 --ev unquads 2 30 --ev orquads 2 30 --ev news 2 30 -- tnullmax 2 --nkeep 4 --o exp --nsearch 10000 Thanks, Kathrin

Hi list,
I am using optseq2 to design my fMRI study. These are my scripts:
optseq2 --ntp 500 --tr 2 --psdwin 0 40 1 --ev star 12 9 --ev star 13 8 --ev star 14 8 --ev diamond 12 9 --ev diamond 13 8 --ev diamond 14 8 --tnullmin 5 --tnullmax 7 --nkeep 3 --o ex.event12.13.14s -- nsearch 5000
I have 2 events, which last for 12,13, and 14s. I found that the schedule documents I got had many null events more than 7s, however, I have set the maximam as 7s. In the sum logfile, I found that my script was recorded correctly, so could you please tell me the reason, and how to solve the problem?
Many thanks, Hongyu Division on Addiction, Psychiatry Department, UT Southwestern Medical Center
