Hi,
I am having trouble with a conditioning program. The program starts on its own when loaded in MEDPC-IV with the exception that the house lights do not turn on. I would like the program to start only after I send the execution signal manually. Also, I would like house light to turn on immediately after the signal is iniated manually. I have posted my code below and I appreciate any advice you may have.
Sincerely,
mlr12

If I understand you correctly you only want the program to start timing when you issue the START command. If you look at S.S.2 and S.S.3 you will see that they have no #START command. Those two State Sets start immediately when the program is loaded. If you add a new State that waits for the START command and then goes on with the rest of the program, it should do what you want. The modified program with the two State Sets waiting for the START command is posted below.
