To assess the intensity of the subject's posttest opinion of the defendants guilt or innocence (see last (M) in row 1 above), simply duplicate measurement 2, which was the intensity measurement for the pretest.  That is,  select "Pretest 2 Guilt" in the Event Specification Table.  Click on the Edit menu immediately to the right of the Create menu at the top of the Event Specification Table.  Select Duplicate.  

Now there should be six events (rows) in the Event Specification Table.   In the first column, there should be an "M" in a circle indicating that this event is a Measurement.  To its right and under Event Type it should say "Sliderbar."  Next, under Event Label, it should say "Intensity Pretest 1 Opinion."  Change this to "Intensity Posttest 4  Opinion.
  
In the column labeled Variable, enter "IntensityPosttest4Opinion" (all one word).   Keywords can remain the same.  In the column labeled Event Description, edit the description to read "This is a posttest measurement of the intensity of the subject's opinion regarding the guild or innocence of the defendant."  

Scroll down to the Instrument Construction Area which should have the heading Pretest 4 Intensity.  Nothing needs to be change in this area.
