Upload of custom CSV ​

In addition to the supported file types, GazePlotter also supports the upload of custom CSV files.

The CSV file must contain the following columns on the first line of the file:

  • Time - timestamp of the sample, simple number, no units or commas allowed
  • Participant - text string of the participant name to be displayed
  • Stimulus - text string of the stimulus name to be displayed
  • AOI - text string of the AOI name to be displayed

Delimiters ​

The CSV file must use the following delimiters:

  • , - column delimiter
  • \r\n - row delimiter

Formatting of one segment ​

Each segment must have at least two rows:

  • The first row will be used for information when the segment starts.
  • The last row will be used for information when the segment ends and all the other info.

INFO

Segment is determined by the homogenity of the AOI, Participant and Stimulus column.

WARNING

All the other rows in the segment will be ignored.

WARNING

Name of the columns is case sensitive.

Examples ​

The following CSV example contains one segment with two rows. The segment starts at 0 ms and ends at 100 ms. The participant is Participant 1, the stimulus is Stimulus 1 and the AOI is AOI 1.

csv
Time,Participant,Stimulus,AOI\r\n
0,Participant 1,Stimulus 1,AOI 1\r\n
100,Participant 1,Stimulus 1,AOI 1\r\n

Next example still have one segment, but with three rows. The segment starts at 0 ms and ends at 100 ms. The participant is Participant 1, the stimulus is Stimulus 1 and the AOI is AOI 1.

csv
Time,Participant,Stimulus,AOI\r\n
0,Participant 1,Stimulus 1,AOI 1\r\n
50,Participant 1,Stimulus 1,AOI 1\r\n
100,Participant 1,Stimulus 1,AOI 1\r\n

In the last example, we have two segments. One with 5 rows, second with 2 rows.

The first segment starts at 0 ms and ends at 100 ms. The participant is Participant 1, the stimulus is Stimulus 1 and the AOI is AOI 1.

The second segment starts at 100 ms and ends at 125 ms. The participant is Participant 1, the stimulus is Stimulus 1 and the AOI is AOI 2.

csv
Time,Participant,Stimulus,AOI\r\n
0,Participant 1,Stimulus 1,AOI 1\r\n
25,Participant 1,Stimulus 1,AOI 1\r\n
50,Participant 1,Stimulus 1,AOI 1\r\n
75,Participant 1,Stimulus 1,AOI 1\r\n
100,Participant 1,Stimulus 1,AOI 1\r\n
100,Participant 1,Stimulus 1,AOI 2\r\n
125,Participant 1,Stimulus 1,AOI 2\r\n
