Function Documentation

tobii_research_subscribe_to_external_signal_data()

TOBII_RESEARCH_API TobiiResearchStatus TOBII_RESEARCH_CALL tobii_research_subscribe_to_external_signal_data	(	TobiiResearchEyeTracker *	eyetracker,
		tobii_research_external_signal_data_callback	callback,
		void *	user_data
	)

Subscribes to external signal data for the eye tracker.

You will get a callback when the value of the external signal port (TTL input) on the eye tracker device changes. Not all eye trackers have an output trigger port. The output feature could be used to synchronize the eye tracker data with data from other devices. The output data contains a time reference that matches the time reference on the time synchronized gaze data.

 
void external_signal_callback(TobiiResearchExternalSignalData* external_signal_data, void* user_data) {
    (void)(user_data); // Is NULL, see subscription call
    printf("External signal: device time stamp %" PRId64 ", value %i \n",
            external_signal_data->device_time_stamp, external_signal_data->value);
}
 
void external_signal_example(TobiiResearchEyeTracker* eyetracker) {
    char* serial_number = NULL;
    tobii_research_get_serial_number(eyetracker, &serial_number);
 
    printf("Subscribing to external signal for eye tracker with serial number %s.\n", serial_number);
 
    tobii_research_free_string(serial_number);
 
    tobii_research_subscribe_to_external_signal_data(eyetracker, external_signal_callback, NULL);

    sleep_ms(2000);
 
    tobii_research_unsubscribe_from_external_signal_data(eyetracker, external_signal_callback);
    printf("Unsubscribed from external signal.\n");
 
}
 

Parameters

eyetracker	Eye tracker object.
callback	Callback that will receive the external signal data.
user_data	Caller specific data that will be sent to the callback.

Returns

A TobiiResearchStatus code.

Examples

		tobii_research_eye_image_callback	callback,
		void *	user_data
	)

Subscribes to eye image for the eye tracker.

You will get a callback when a new eye image is received, and the occurrence depends on the eye tracker model. Not all eye tracker models support this feature. If no one is listening to gaze data, the eye tracker will only deliver full images, otherwise either cropped or full images will be delivered depending on whether or not the eye tracker has detected eyes.

Subscribes to eye image for the eye tracker with the image delivered in gif format.

You will get a callback when a new eye image is received, and the occurrence depends on the eye tracker model. Not all eye tracker models support this feature.

Subscribes to time synchronization data for the eye tracker.

You will get a callback when the computer and the eye trackers clocks gets synchronized.

This drift handling is done in real time. The data received from this event could be used for an even more accurate drift adjustment in the post processing.
