recessed reset button hole, located between the power connector and the data port on the
connector panel at the back of the eye tracker. Keep pressing the reset button till you hear a
beep.

Configure Tobii Pro Spectrum in Tobii Pro Eye Tracker Manager
In Pro Eye Tracker Manager you can change some settings for your Pro Spectrum. For instance,
you can create and recall setups for using the eye tracker in standalone mode and change the eye
tracker’s frequency.
6.4.1 Change Tobii Pro Spectrum frequency setting
1. Start Tobii Pro Eye Tracker Manager. Tobii Pro Spectrum will displays as a “card” in the list of
available eye trackers at the top.
2. Select Pro Spectrum by clicking on it.
3. On the Drivers & Firmware tab, you can select the desired frequency setting from the drop-
down list.
Option with reduced infrared light: If you change the sampling frequency to 60 or 120 Hz,
you reduce the brightness of the infrared light from the eye tracker. This is useful when
you want a highly unobtrusive setup for the participant. This low visibility option is only
available for 60 and 120 Hz.
