====== Retrieve EyeLink Data ======
EyeLink data (''edf'' files) are collected and stored on the Host PC. Retrieval can be automated by the task code. Use the EyeLink's ''receiveDataFile'' ( [[:hardware:eyetracking:eyelink:task_integration]]) to save eye data alongside other task output autonomously. No intervention needed. 

To read these files, see [[:hardware:eyetracking:eyelink:analysis]].

To manually transfer data from the recording saved on the "Host PC", use the **File Manager** mode of the host PC. And copy ''.edf'' files from the ''elcl/data'' location by either

  * browser to http://100.1.1.1/ on the __task__ PC **or**
  * connect USB storage directly to the __host__ PC
