Defining Trials in Config File

In the WaterMaze section of the config file (usually mycalvr.xml), the section to define the trials is:

<Trials>
  <1 NumWidth="6" NumHeight="6" Time="15" />
  <2 NumWidth="7" NumHeight="7" Time="20" />
  <3 NumWidth="8" NumHeight="8" Time="30" />
</Trials>

Each trial is numbered sequentially. NumWidth and NumHeight specify the number of tiles in each direction. Time is the length of the trial in seconds.
