Normally + the reference file will be created using a spectral instrument and + you will want to use the <span style="font-weight: bold;">-s</span> + flag with dispread for this. If you want to use a colorimeter as a + reference instrument, then make sure that it is the first file + provided to the ccxxmake <span style="font-weight: bold;">-f</span> + option.

This can be overridden by supplying an X11 display + name to the <span style="font-weight: bold;">-display</span> + option. Note that if Xinerama is active, you can't select the screen + using $DISPLAY or -display, you have to select it using the <span + style="font-weight: bold;">-d</span> parameter.<br> + <br> + <a name="d"></a> By default the main display will be the location of + the test window. If the system has more than one display or screen, + an alternate display/screen can be selected with the <span + style="font-weight: bold;">-d</span> parameter. If you invoke <b>ccxxmake</b> + so as to display the usage information (i.e. "dispcal -?" or + "dispcal --"), then the discovered displays/screens will be listed. + Multiple displays may not be listed, if they appear as a single + display to the operating system (ie. the multi-display support is + hidden in the video card driver). On UNIX based system that used the + X11 Windowing System, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">-d</span> + parameter will override the screen specified by the $DISPLAY or + parameter.<br> + <br> + <a name="dnm"></a>Because of the difficulty cause by TwinView and + MergedFB in X11 based systems, you can optionally specify a separate + display number after the display that is going to be used to present + test patches, for accessing the VideoLUT hardware. This must be + specified as a single string, e.g. <span style="font-weight: bold;">-d + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 1,2</span> . Some experimentation may be needed using <a + href="dispwin.html">dispwin</a> on such systems, to discover what + screen has access to the VideoLUT hardware, and which screens the + test patches appear on.<br> + <br> + <span style="font-weight: bold;"><a name="dweb"></a>-dweb</span> or + <span style="font-weight: bold;">-dweb:port</span> starts a + standalone web server on your machine, which then allows a local or + remote web browser to display the the color test patches. By default + port <span style="font-weight: bold;">8080</span> is used, but this + can be overridden by appending a <span style="font-weight: bold;">:</span> + and the port number i.e. <span style="font-weight: bold;">-dweb:8001</span>. + The URL will be <span style="font-weight: bold;">http://</span> + then name of the machine or its I.P. address followed by a colon and + the port number - e.g something like <span style="font-weight: + bold;">http://192.168.0.1:8080</span>. If you use the verbose + option (<span style="font-weight: bold;">-v</span>) then a likely + URL will be printed once the server is started, or you could run <span + style="font-weight: bold;">ipconfig</span> (MSWin) or <span + style="font-weight: bold;">/sbin/ifconfig</span> (Linux or OS X) + and identify an internet address for your machine that way.<br> + <br> + <a name="p"></a>The <span style="font-weight: bold;">-p</span> flag + allows measuring in telephoto mode, using instruments that support + this mode, e.g. the ColorMunki. Telephoto mode is one for taking + emissive measurements from a distance (ie. telespectometer, + tele-colorimeter) mode, and typically would be used for measuring + projector type displays. If a device does not support a specific + telephoto mode, then the normal emissive mode may be suitable for + measuring projectors.<br> + <br> + <a name="y"></a> The <span style="font-weight: bold;">-y</span> + flag allows setting the Display Type used as a base for color + correction matrix CCMX creation. Only base calibration display types + will be listed. The selection typically determines two aspects of of + the instrument operation: <span style="font-weight: bold;">1)</span> + It may set the measuring mode to suite <a + href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_display_technology"><span + style="font-weight: bold;">refresh</span> or <span + style="font-weight: bold;">non-refresh</span> displays</a>. + Typically only LCD (Liquid Crystal) displays have a non-refresh + nature. <span style="font-weight: bold;">2)</span> It may select an + instrument internal calibration matrix suitable for a particular + display type. The selections available depends on the type and model + of instrument, and a list of the options for the discovered + instruments will be shown in the <a href="ArgyllDoc.html#CmdLine">usage</a> + information. For more details on what particular instruments support + and how this works, see <a href="instruments.html">Operation of + particular instruments</a>. Any CCMX created will work on top of + the selected Display Type, so to be valid, the same Display Type + must be selected whenever the CCMX is used with this instrument. + Installed CCMX files will automatically select the appropriate base + type.<br> + <br> + <a name="P"></a> The <span style="font-weight: bold;">-P</span> + parameter allows you to position and size the test patch window. By + default it is places in the center of the screen, and sized + appropriately for the type of instrument. The <span + style="font-weight: bold;">ho</span> and <span + style="font-weight: bold;">vo</span> values govern the horizontal + and vertical offset respectively. A value of 0.0 positions the + window to the far left or top of the screen, a value of 0.5 + positions it in the center of the screen (the default), and 1.0 + positions it to the far right or bottom of the screen. If three + parameters are provided, then the <span style="font-weight: bold;">ss</span> + parameter is a scale factor for the test window size. A value of 0.5 + for instance, would produce a half sized window. A value of 2.0 will + produce a double size window. If four parameters are provided, then + the last two set independent horizontal and vertical scaling + factors. Note that the ho,vo,ss or ho,vo,hs,vs numbers must be + specified as a single string (no space between the numbers and the + comma). For example, to create a double sized test window at the top + right of the screen, use <span style="font-weight: bold;">-P 1,0,2</span> + . To create a window twice as wide as high: <span + style="font-weight: bold;">-P 1,0,2,1</span>.<br> + <br> + <a name="F"></a> The <span style="font-weight: bold;">-F</span> + flag causes the while screen behind the test window to be masked + with black. This can aid black accuracy when measuring CRT displays + or projectors.<br> + <br> + <a name="n"></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">-n</span> When + running on a UNIX based system that used the X11 Windowing System, <b>dispcal</b> + normally selects the override redirect so that the test window will + appear above any other windows on the display. On some systems this + can interfere with window manager operation, and the <b>-n</b> + option turns this behaviour off.<br> + <br> + <a name="N"></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">-N</span> Any + instrument that requires regular calibration will ask for + calibration on initial start-up. Sometimes this can be awkward if + the instrument is being mounted in some sort of measuring jig, or + annoying if several sets of readings are being taken in quick + succession. The -<span style="font-weight: bold;">N</span> + suppresses this initial calibration if a valid and not timed out + previous calibration is recorded in the instrument or on the host + computer. It is advisable to only use this option on the second and + subsequent measurements in a single session.<br> + <br> + <a name="L"></a> The -<span style="font-weight: bold;">H</span> + option on high resolution spectral mode, if the instrument supports + it, such as the Eye-One Pro. See <a href="instruments.html">Operation + + + + + + + + + + + + + of particular instruments</a> for more details. This may give + better accuracy for display measurements.<br> + <br> + <a name="C"></a> The -<span style="font-weight: bold;">C</span> <span + style="font-weight: bold;">"command" </span>option allows a + method of relaying each test value to some other display than that + on the system running dispcal (for instance, a photo frame, PDA + screen etc.), by causing the given command to be invoked to the + shell, with six arguments. The first three arguments are the RGB + test color as integers in the range 0 to 255, the second three + parameters are the RGB test color as floating point numbers in the + range 0.0 to 1.0. The script or tool should relay the given color to + the screen in some manner (e.g. by generating a raster file of the + given color and sending it to the display being profiled), before + returning. Note that a test window will also be created on the + system running dispread.<br> + <br> + <a name="o"></a> (CCMX creation) The <b>-o</b> flag allows + specifying a tristimulus observer, and is used to compute + tristimulus values from spectral readings. The following + choices are available:<br> + <b> 1931_2</b> selects the standard CIE 1931 2 degree + observer. The default.<br> + <b>1964_10</b> selects the standard CIE 1964 10 degree + observer.<br> + <b>1955_2</b> selects the Stiles and Birch 1955 2 degree + observer<br> + <b>1978_2 </b>selects the Judd and Voss 1978 2 degree + observer<br> + <b>shaw</b> selects the Shaw and Fairchild 1997 2 degree + observer<br> + <br> + <a name="s"></a>The <b>-s steps</b><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span> + parameter overrides the default number of test patch combination + steps used in measuring a colorimeter & display combination.<span + style="font-weight: bold;"></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><span + style="font-weight: bold;"></span> The steps are those out + of every combination of R,G & B values of the given number of + steps that have at least one colorant at 100%. So 2 steps gives 7 + test patches, 3 gives 19, 4 gives 37, 5 gives 61, 6 gives 91 etc. + Note that typically this won't make much difference to the resulting + calibration, since it depends primarily on the underlying spectral + characteristics of the display.<br> + <br> + <a name="W"></a>The <b>-W</b> <span style="font-weight: bold;">n|h|x</span> + parameter overrides the default serial communications flow control + setting. The value <span style="font-weight: bold;">n</span> turns + all flow control off, <span style="font-weight: bold;">h</span> + sets hardware handshaking, and <span style="font-weight: bold;">x</span> + sets Xon/Xoff handshaking. This commend may be useful in workaround + serial communications issues with some systems and cables. <br> + <br> + <a name="D"></a>The <b>-D</b> flag causes communications and other + instrument diagnostics to be printed to stdout. A level can be set + between 1 .. 9, that may give progressively more verbose + information, depending on the instrument. This can be useful in + tracking down why an instrument can't connect.<br> + <br> + <a name="E"></a>The <b>-E</b> parameter allows overriding the <span + style="font-weight: bold;">ccmx/ccss</span> files overall + description tag. Normally this is not necessary. With most command + line shells, it will be necessary to enclose the parameter with + double quotes, so that spaces and other special characters are + included in the parameter, and not mistaken for the start of another + flag, or as a final command line parameter. <br> + <br> + <a name="I"></a>The <b>-I</b> parameter allows setting of the + display description string in the resulting <span + style="font-weight: bold;">ccmx/ccss</span> file.

The default or + given display description will be printed before the menu. With most + command line shells, it will be necessary to enclose the parameter + with double quotes, so that spaces and other special characters are + included in the parameter, and not mistaken for the start of another + flag, or as a final command line parameters.<br> + <br> + <a name="T"></a>The <b>-T</b> parameter allows setting of the + display technology description string in the resulting <span + style="font-weight: bold;">ccmx/ccss</span> file. The + applicability of the calibration mainly depends on the technology + type of the display, so a description of the technology (ie. "CRT", + "LCD", "LCD + backlight type + LCD type", etc.) is <span + style="font-weight: bold;">highly recommended</span>, because it + can make the calibration more widely usable. With most command line + shells, it will be necessary to enclose the parameter with double + quotes, so that spaces and other special characters are included in + the parameter, and not mistaken for the start of another flag, or as + a final command line parameters.<br> + <br> + <a name="U"></a>The <b>-U</b> parameter allows setting of the user + interface selection character this display type can be selected by, + if installed.
