The Protocol page
Introduction
The Protocol is the part of an ANY-maze experiment which defines how the experiment will be performed. For example, it specifies where the video pictures used for tracking will come from, what the experiment's apparatus looks like, how long tests should last etc.
As you can imagine, the protocol is completely fundamental to an experiment and, in fact, you can't do anything in ANY-maze without first setting one up.
Protocols are divided into elements, each of which defines a specific feature; for example, there's an element for Apparatus, another one for Stages of the experiment, and another for Analysis. In fact, there are more than 40 elements altogether but you are very unlikely to need to define all of them - indeed, in the simplest protocol, you just need to define five.
