EYE file format
EYE file structure...
EYE data files contain path data of several trials. Wintrack imports EYE data files assuming that they store all trials of a single animal. The expected file extension is .EYE. No event data can be read from this format. For details on the ASCII text based structure of EYE data files please contact the following address:

Reading EYE data...
The Open Case Document command recognizes EYE data files automatically. Since they contain no information on the sampling interval used to record the data, Wintrack prompts for specification of a sampling interval. Because EYE files lack goal position information, Wintrack attempts to get the information from the currently active custom setup file, in which it looks for fields named Goal. Use the Arena Properties command to load an appropriate custom setup file before importing EYE files. If no goal position information is available at all, Wintrack can still import EYE files. However, as soon as you attempt to process predefined variables from the Analyze Case Document command, you will be prompted to specify a custom setup file which can supplement the missing goal position information. Finally, EYE files contain no case properties information. Therefore, Wintrack automatically activates the Case Properties command after loading an EYE file so you can specify properties manually. On this occasion, you may also specify a setup version if you plan to work with custom setup files.
