Unable to draw EyeLink drift correction to screen

[chris2307]

Hi all,

I am running an experiment in a loop. When a new trial begins, I would like to call the EyeLink 2 drift correction function. I've been able to call the menu for calibration before starting the experiment just fine.

The problem is that my function does run and the drift correction routine is initialised (I can see this from the EyeTracker PC). However, I am unable to get the eye tracker to override the screen in order to display the drift correction dot.

Instead, the experiment continues to be displayed on the screen, although is blocked whilst it waits for the drift correction routine to be exited.

sys.path.append(os.getcwd() + '/functions')

userMovement = Movement(10)
text = Text()

EyeTracker.beginExperiment()
EyeTracker.setupTracker()
EyeTracker.testTrial()

experiment = StaticVisualSearchTaskExperiment()
toFile = toDataFile(experiment.getParticipantID())

def runExperiment():
	
	yield experiment.prepareTrial(experiment.currentPhase())
	toFile.newTrial(experiment.getTrialData(), experiment.getTrialNumber())

	while True:
		
		if(experiment.hasTrialEnded() == False):
			
			if(experiment.isNewPhase() == True):
				yield experiment.prepareTrial(experiment.currentPhase())
				toFile.asRaw("<phase_number>" + str(experiment.currentPhase()) + "</phase_number>")
				
			if(experiment.currentPhase() == 1):
				userMovement.disable()
				yield experiment.runPhase1(JOY_YES = userMovement.returnButtonYES(), JOY_NO = userMovement.returnButtonNO())
			elif(experiment.currentPhase() == 2):
				userMovement.enable()
				yield experiment.runPhase2(JOY_YES = userMovement.returnButtonYES(), JOY_NO = userMovement.returnButtonNO())
			elif(experiment.currentPhase() == 3):
				userMovement.enable()
				yield experiment.runPhase3(JOY_YES = userMovement.returnButtonYES(), JOY_NO = userMovement.returnButtonNO())
				
			toFile.asTrialTick(EyeTracker.getCurrentGaze())
			toFile.asTrialTick(viz.mouse.getPosition(viz.WINDOW_PIXELS))
		else:
			toFile.endTrial(experiment.getTrialResult())
			if(experiment.hasExperimentEnded() == False):
				yield EyeTracker.driftCorrection() # <------------------------------------------------- Here is where I attempt to carry out a drift correction
				yield experiment.nextTrial()
				yield experiment.prepareTrial(experiment.currentPhase())
				toFile.newTrial(experiment.getTrialData(), experiment.getTrialNumber())
			else:
				yield experiment.finish()
				break

	viz.quit()

viztask.schedule(runExperiment())

I'm hoping it is something obvious but if it's not, please let me know and I'll get more information put up on here.

Thanks
