import .edf files in batch into DataViewer

Dear SR Researchers,

I love SR Research Product, and benifits a lot from your product. But how I wish I could import the .edf files in batch, because it take me over one hour to import the expeirment data into dataviewer. It is time cost and boring to do this manual work. To save my time, and many other researchers like me,I wrote a simple software toimport .edf in a batch into DataViewer. This will save me lots of time. You can download the software at the following link.

Hope you like the tool.


As a fan of SR Research products, I love their eye tracker very much. But how I wish I could import the .edf files in batch, because it take me over one hour to import the expeirment data into dataviewer. It is time cost and boring to do this manual work. To save my time, and many other researchers like me,I wrote this simple software. I have tested the program with DataViewer 1.8.1. I guess it will work with any version of DataViewer.

------------------------------
---------------------
Function:
---------------------------------------------------
- To import the .edf files into DataViewer in batch.
- to Save your time

---------------------------------------------------
How to use?
---------------------------------------------------
1. set up config.ini
put the dataviewer directory in the second line in the config.ini.
The default directory is "c:\Program Files\SR Research\DataViewer\DataViewerW.exe"

2. set edf data location
put the directory of the edf files in edfLocation.txt
Each directory takes one line. It does not require the directory to be the folder just containing .edf. It can be any folders as long as itself or its subfolders contain the .edf file.

3. Click BatchImporter.exe to run
Then the software will ask DataViewer to import all the edf files you set in edfLocation.txt
