Transfer data from eye-tracker computer

Hi is there a way to have a command at the end of the experiment in Inquisit to transfer edf file from the computer with eye-tracker software to the computer on which Inquisit is run?

No, Inquisit has no means to access and transfer arbitrary files that may reside on another computer.

What you can possibly do is write a command line script that (1) fires up Inquisit with the eyetracking experiment and then (2) after that copies the edf file from the other computer over to the box running Inquisit. Information on launching Inquisit via the command line / a command line script is available at https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/howto/howtocommandline.htm . Also see https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v5/html/articles/batchscripts.htm under "Using Windows Batch Files" (the equivalent on a Mac would be shell scripts, .sh).
