Hi @sol , Thanks for your help!

I will remove the etRecord component and add ISI routines as you suggested, but do I need to add any other code to make sure the eyelink data would be store in hdf5 files properly?

If I just replace the etRecord component with custom ISI routines and other components remain the same (calibration/validation/ROI), could the eye-tracking record work normally?

I must complete this experiment as soon as possible, so I can’t wait until the official version is updated. 😞

I would try add custom code to fix the keyboard input bug, or I just have to use mouse click to control my experiment.

Thank you very much😊
