The SMI RED Eye Tracker records eye movements at 120Hz (or 60Hz, see below).

General Setup

To test a subject

  • Open iViewX on the host computer
  • Open Experiment Center on the display computer (or same computer if you're using a one computer setup)
  • Select your experiment in Experiment Center, make sure it's locked and connected to the host, and click record
  • To stop (if stimuli duration is set to "manual"), click F12 on the display computer


Important Note: To make sure you are tracking at 120Hz and not 60Hz, in iViewX go to setup/hardware, and make sure RED 60/120 (USB) is selected as the eye tracking device. Then click on advanced and make sure that 120Hz is selected.

Troubleshooting

If the eye tracker is not working:

  • make sure none of the physical connections are loose and the eye tracker (e.g., usb cables) is plugged in
  • if the eye tracker doesn't kick into action when you open iViewX, then go to setup>hardware>eye tracking device, and make sure that RED 60/120 (USB) is selected from the drop-down list
