[RESOLVED] TR value is not read in correctly when running preprocess_conc

Description:

I’ve been using QuNex preprocess_conc command using one of the recent versions of the container (qunex_suite-0.96.2.sif). However I just noticed that the TR value that is passed to the fc_preprocess_conc function is TR=2.5 which is the default value, instead of .7 which is the correct value in the batch file and the stats files in the corresponding …/sessionID/images/functional/movement/ directory.

It seems that up to qunex_suite-0.93.6.sif version, the TR value is read in correctly, but for the later versions, the TR value in the log file is always TR=2.5.

Call:

information such as where the command was executed from, which 
version of the container was used, and full paths to all files. >

Masih, hi!

I just realized that my initial response was not published. We’ve now identified the issue. When the parameter names were harmonized to lowercase, a couple of instances of ‘TR’ parameter were not adjusted. The issue has now been resolved and the fix will be in the next release. A possible workaround before the new release (though not tested) might be to specify TR twice, using lowercase tr and uppercase TR name for the parameter.

All the best,

Grega

Thanks Grega. I’ll wait for the next release.
