Supporting Documents - SR Research EyeLink Portable Duo User Manual

The Display PC:
• Runs experiment presentation software to control presentation of the
experimental materials to the participant while interfacing with the
EyeLink eye tracker.
• Can configure and control the EyeLink tracker, and have access to real-
time data including gaze position, eye movement events, and response box
button presses with minimal delay and low variability in timing.
• Runs applications focused on stimulus generation and control of the
experiment sequence. Relying on the Host PC for data acquisition and
registering responses makes millisecond-accurate timing possible, even
when the Display PC is running under Windows.
• Supports data file viewing and conversion tools such as EyeLink Data
Viewer and EyeLink EDF2ASC converter, to assist researchers in analysis
of the data obtained.
