2.1 Web User Interface (Web UI)
The Web User Interface (Web UI) is a tool supplied with the EyeLink Portable
Duo eye tracker that allows users to access files from the Host PC, configure
eye tracker settings, and perform Host software updates. This tool can be run
on both the Host PC and the Display PC. On the Host PC, you can access this
interface by simply pressing Ctrl+Alt+Q to exit the current eye tracking
session/Host PC Application or by clicking the “Exit” button on the Setup
screen of the Host PC Application, and then clicking the “Exit EyeLink” button.
On the Display PC, you can access this interface by typing 100.1.1.1 in the
address bar of a browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox; detailed instructions for
running the Web UI on the Display PC are provided in section 2.1.4).
The Web UI consists of a File Manager and a Configuration Tool.
2.1.1 File Manager
The EyeLink Portable Duo Host Application runs on QNX, a Unix-like real-time
operating system, allowing the eye tracker to minimize delays in data
acquisition and transmission and to provide very low data access variability.
The File Manager allows the users to see how the Host PC’s files are organized
and to copy, move, rename, download, upload, and edit files.
The File Manager consists of a title bar, a browser URL (if running from the
Display PC side), a toolbar, a tree view panel, a folder view panel, and a
preview/edit panel (see Figure 2-1).
