Possibility to launch EyeX settings via the SDK?

[Markus Proell]

Hi,

is there a possibility to show the EyeX global settings via an SDK API call?

Thx,
Best,

Markus

Hello Markus,

There is no way to launch the settings panel, but there are API calls (C#) you can make to access the different areas of the settings panel, such as starting a recalibration, display setup, creating a user profile or switching to a guest profile.

Below is a code snippet taken from the MinimalConfigurationTool sample that demonstrate how to use this functionality.

namespace MinimalConfigurationTool
{
    using System;
    using EyeXFramework;

    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var eyeXHost = new EyeXHost())
            {
                eyeXHost.Start();

                Console.WriteLine("EYEX CONFIGURATION TOOLS");
                Console.WriteLine("========================");
                Console.WriteLine();
                Console.WriteLine("T) Test calibration");
                Console.WriteLine("G) Guest calibration");
                Console.WriteLine("R) Recalibrate");
                Console.WriteLine("D) Display Setup");
                Console.WriteLine("P) Create Profile");

                var key = Console.ReadKey(true).Key;
                switch (key)
                {
                    case ConsoleKey.T:
                        eyeXHost.LaunchCalibrationTesting();
                        break;
                    case ConsoleKey.G:
                        eyeXHost.LaunchGuestCalibration();
                        break;
                    case ConsoleKey.R:
                        eyeXHost.LaunchRecalibration();
                        break;
                    case ConsoleKey.D:
                        eyeXHost.LaunchDisplaySetup();
                        break;
                    case ConsoleKey.P:
                        eyeXHost.LaunchProfileCreation();
                        break;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Hey patrik

Ima trying the same, from a .net application. iam using the new TobiiEyeXSdk-DotNet-1.4.451.
When i run one of the above methods in particulary the eyeXHost.LaunchCalibrationTesting(); nothing happens?
Am i missing something or does the version of tobii iam using not support those features!?

Hello NadiaMads,

What engine version are you running?
This functionality require EyeX Engine version 1.1.

Best regards
Patrik

Good day.

Hello,

I am trying to create a new profile using c++ application. How do I launch the configuration tool in c++ eyeX SDK?

is there something like txLaunchConfigurationTool(hContext, TX_CONFIGURATIONTOOL_PROFILECREATION, NULL, NULL);
or perhaps to check if a user’s calibration data is already available?

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,
Umakshi Sajnani

Hi Umakshi,

You got it almost right, the function looks like this (and can be found in EyeXActions.h):

TX_RESULT txLaunchConfigurationTool(
    TX_CONTEXTHANDLE hContext,    
    TX_CONFIGURATIONTOOL configurationTool,
    TX_ASYNCDATACALLBACK completionHandler,
    TX_USERPARAM userParam    
    )

To create a new profile, use TX_CONFIGURATIONTOOL_CREATENEWPROFILE as the second argument.

There is a sample in the EyeX SDK for C/C++ called MinimalUserProfiles. It shows you how you can get the name of the current profile, list all available profiles, and change the current profile to another existing profile.
