FAQ: What does "Error:2032 Value parameter contains no initial value…" mean?

[SR-SUPPORT]

This error occurs when a Variable node in your project is missing an initial value. An initial value is essential because it performs two key functions:

• It defines the variable's data type (e.g., integer, string, float, etc.).
  
• It acts as a default value, which will be recorded if the variable isn't updated during a trial.
  

To fix this, simply provide an initial value.

1. Double-click the error message in the "Output" tab, which will automatically highlight the empty Variable node.
   
2. Enter an appropriate default value in the node's properties.
   

   

Suggested Initial Values
While any value of the correct type can be used, here are some common defaults:

Data Type	Value
Integer	0
Float / Double	0.0
String	"" (an empty string) or NA
Color	(0,0,0,255)
Point	(0,0)
Boolean	False or True
List	[]

This initial value is what will be saved in the EDF data file, unless it is changed by another node during the trial sequence.
