The proposed instrumentation will be used primarily in research on the distribution of power in exchange networks. The central question of this research tradition is how position in a network of exchange relations confers relative advantage or disadvantage in obtaining favorable rates of exchange with partners. The instrumentation will be used to configure a network of PCs, all linked to each other through a main file server. Experimenters will be able to realize any communication network design by blocking communication channels between any two subject PCs and thus investigate the effect of network shape on the distribution of power among subjects. The instrumentation makes possible the systematic manipulation of additional "parameters of exchange" beyond network configuration. Finally, the particular combination of hardware and software provides ideal capabilities for online data records of all significant events in the exchange process.

提出的仪器将主要用于交换网络中电力分布的研究。 这项研究传统的核心问题是，在交流关系网络中的地位如何赋予与合作伙伴获得有利交换率的相对优势或劣势。 仪器将用于配置PC网络，所有这些网络彼此通过主文件服务器相互链接。 实验者将能够通过阻止任何两个主题PC之间的通信渠道来实现任何通信网络设计，从而研究网络形状对受试者之间权力分布的影响。 该仪器可以系统地操纵超出网络配置的其他“交换参数”。 最后，硬件和软件的特殊组合为交换过程中所有重要事件的在线数据记录提供了理想的功能。
