# View trial control instructions during acquisition

Aim

During acquisition you can view the status of the trial control instructions. This way you can check that the Trial Control Rule works as expected. For example, check that an action is taken when the subject enters a zone. You can also view Trial Control States, which are time intervals defined by two Trial Control Events.

To view trial control states or events during acquisition

In the Acquisition screen, click Show/Hide and select Show Dependent variables. Select Trial Control Event, or Trial Control State.
