Hello,
Sorry, it looks like I did not reference this anywhere in the help.
If the timing files are duration modulated (form ONSET:DUR for each event), then the program will apply those durations.
You can test it using something like example 13a, to show the events, durations and offsets (time between events = ITIs):
timing_tool.py -multi_timing stim.* -multi_timing_to_event_list GE:ALL -
If there is no :DUR modulation attached, then you should specify the duration on the command line.
The special case comes (with the same example 13a, say) when some timing files have duration modulators and some don't. In that case, it would be necessary to specify the fixed times via -multi_stim_dur. But since you would not want to override the :DUR entries, -multi_stim_dur should get -1 for any class that has modulators.
That is more than you asked about, but hopefully it clarifies things.
