EyeLink Portable Duo Host Application Navigation
The EyeLink Host Application consists of a set of setup and monitoring screens,
which may be navigated by means of the Host PC mouse, keyboard shortcuts,
or from the Display PC application via link commands.
Figure 2-2: EyeLink Portable Duo Host PC Application
Overview
Each of the modes shown in Figure 2-2 has a special purpose. Where possible,
each screen has a distinctive appearance. Buttons for navigation and setup are
provided on the right side of the screens. The thumbnail images of the eyes are
displayed at the bottom of each screen. Arrows represent the navigations
possible by key presses on the Host PC keyboard or via button selection using
the Host PC mouse. All modes are accessible from the Display PC by link
control. Note the central role of the Setup screen.
From any screen, pressing the on-screen Help button
or hitting the F1 key
will open a screen-sensitive Help menu listing all available key shortcuts for
that screen. The key combination ‘CTRL+ALT+Q’ will exit the EyeLink Host
Application.
