two computers are connected via an Ethernet link that allows the sharing of
critical information from the Host PC to the Display PC, such as the occurrence
of eye events, gaze position, or images from the camera during participant
setup. Similarly, the Display PC can communicate with the Host PC, allowing
Display PC applications to direct the collection of data. An optional EyeLink
button box can be attached directly to the Host PC allowing for the accurate
synchronization of participant responses with the eye movement data. Message
passing also allows events collected by I/O devices on the Display PC (e.g.,
button boxes, microphones, etc.) to be accurately recorded in the data file.
IMPORTANT:
Please examine the safety information for the EyeLink 1000 Plus
system, found in Section 6.1.
1.1 Supporting Documents
The EyeLink 1000 Plus User Guide (this document) contains information on
using the EyeLink 1000 Plus hardware, the Host PC application, tutorials on
participant setup and calibration, and the basics of running an experiment.
Information on system safety, maintenance, and storage is also provided.
Appendix A of this manual explains the use of the optional analog output and
digital inputs and outputs via an analog card.
Additional documents are also available:
A.
EyeLink 1000 Plus Installation Guide – Describes a standard EyeLink
1000 Plus system layout and environmental considerations as well as the
process followed to install the EyeLink 1000 Plus hardware and software on
both the Host and Display PCs.
B.
EyeLink Programmer’s Guide – Provides suggestions on how to program
experiments with EyeLink 1000 Plus in Windows, including a review of sample
experiments and documentation of supported functions.
C.
SR Research Experiment Builder User Manual – Introduces an optional
visual experiment creation tool for creating EyeLink experiments on 32-/64-bit
Windows and Mac OS X. This software allows for a wide range of sophisticated
experimental paradigms to be created by someone with little or no programming
or scripting expertise.
D.
EyeLink Data Viewer User’s Manual – Introduces an optional Data
analysis tool, EyeLink Data Viewer, which allows interactive display, filtering,
extraction and summarizing of EyeLink EDF data.
