Argus Science — About Us

What it is

A Network Communication manual describes how to talk to Argus Science systems over a local area network. Sample programs, all with source, demonstrate communication from C++, MFC, C#, Python, LSL, MATLAB, and E-Prime. The manual and samples install with ETRemote, so your own programs can control the tracker the same way ETRemote does.

Languages and samples

PYTHON / LSL

Python & Lab Streaming Layer

Receive live data and video, control recording, and stream into an LSL pipeline alongside EEG and other signals.

C# / MFC

ETNetLib COM library

Sample GUI programs use the ETNetLib COM library: receive live data and images, control data files, and send XDAT values. Provided with source and Visual Studio projects.

VC++

Command-line samples

Direct communication without ETNetLib: auto-calibration control, AI object status, single data-item queries, live data and image streaming, recording control, and XDAT.

MATLAB

Scripted access to live data and recording control for analysis-driven workflows.

E-PRIME

E-Prime

Integrate gaze recording and XDAT event marking into E-Prime experiments.

ETNetLib

ETNetLib.DLL

A COM library providing the network interface: commands over TCP, streaming live data or video over TCP or UDP. Multi-threaded.

Sample programs

ETReceiveData — receive live data on a streaming channel.
ETReceiveImage — receive live image data on a streaming channel.
ETRecordData — control data-file recording on the tracker.
ETSetXDAT — set XDAT values via the command channel.
ETAutoCalibration — initiate and monitor auto calibration.
ETGetAIObjInfo — read status, color, and name of AI objects in the loaded model.

Installed with ETRemote under Start → ArgusScience → ET_SDK_Samples and Network Protocol - SDK. Also available in the Download Center.
