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 allowedParticipant
- text string of the participant name to be displayedStimulus
- text string of the stimulus name to be displayedAOI
- 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.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
