  Hi,

  Yes, you can log anything you want manually, with the exp.pygaze_eyetracker.log() command.

  Cheers,

  Hi, i tested this using an inline script but i only get what i logged as a message in one line. What i ask for is a way to log additional variables in new columns. For example, i have the rawx, rawy, psize columns among other variables, and these refresh in each frame. I ask if there is any possible way to add another columns that would report a variable of OpenSesame like, for example, background color, and have these self-report in each frame just like the native variables reported in the Eye Tribe log?

  Nobody? As i'm not a native english speaker, maybe my issue isn't clear enough. What other solutions could i use?

  Hi,

  If you want to log variables, you can indeed to what Josh suggested. However, you have to use a specific format so that PyGaze recognizes the log message as a variable.

  exp.pygaze_eyetracker.log("!V TRIAL_VAR <var_name> %s" % <var_value>)

  Is this what you meant?

  Ps. I'm not sure whether this code also works for eyetribe, I only tested it for Eyelink eyetrackers.
