All examples I have seen define a marker using <port> in which the items are numbers, but I want to send a string of letters as a marker at certain times during the experiment. I wanted to know if its possible. Something like this: <port experimentBeginPortEyeTracker> / port = eyetracker / subport = data / items = ("goToWinTrial") </port> Do you think the problem might be having /subport = data in this script?

I'm afraid only numerical / integer markers are possible at present, though for eye trackers the port element allows for 32 bits (not just 8 bits).
