Opticka has two eyetracker interfaces to Eyelink (eyelinkManager) and Tobii eyetrackers (tobiiManager). The API is largely similar and major commands to interact with the eyetracker work identically. However settings are quite different. So far most settings are set in code via the state info file (e.g. see here). In V2.05 I've added two separate UI panels with the main settings for Eyelink and Tobii eyetrackers. These provide default values, and any settings in the state machine info file will still overwrite them. Thus you now can either use the UI exclusively or mix and match.

Additionally there is a new way to save protocols where both the MAT file and StateInfo.m file are saved and the pathto the state file in the MAT file is changed so it points to this new location. This aids in making quick copies of a protocol you can then customise and edit. Opticka uses ~/MatlabFiles/Protocols as the default folder for saving protocols.
