Copying EyeLink EDF files

Ideally leave for MEG Support to do , but ...

If there is a need to copy off EyeLink EDF files from /elcl/exe - e.g. because the EyeLink partition is almost full (TRACK may/will not start if the partition is full!)

• Make sure the Stim PC is On and Logged in.
• Turn On the EyeLink PC, and exit to FileManager.
• On the STIM PC, open the Bing incognito browser shortcut from the Taskbar.
• Then either...
  • Click on the "EyeLink Host PC FileManager" shortcut, in the Bookmarks toolbar. Or...
  • In the Address Bar, type "100.1.1.1" (without the quotes). A connection should now be made to the SR Research EyeLink FileManager, and the following page should be displayed in the Stim PC Browser window...

The link is not a secure link, so make sure the address is headed by "http://" and not "https://"

• Click on the "+" button, by the "/elcl" folder icon to open up the sub-folders.
• Click on the "exe" folder icon to show the folder contents in the right-hand window.
• Click on the "Change view" icon and select "Details" from the dropdown menu.
• Click on "Type" to list all the EDF files together.
• Select relevant EDF files (using shift-leftclick or ctrl-leftclick) in the right-hand window, and right-click the selected files to view the options.
• Select "Download (no. selected) items".
• Select "OK" to download the files as a compressed file to the Stim PC Downloads folder.
  • Filename: "exe (no. of items).zip"
• Once transfer is complete, check the Downloads folder to confirm ZIP file is there and can be opened.
• Copy the zip file to RDS partition, or University OneDrive (depending on what share has been mapped on the Stim PC).
• Return to the open browser window, right-clicking to now, carefully, select "Delete (no. selected) items", to make space on the EyeLink partition enabling the recording of EDF files again.
