+ <span style="text-decoration: underline;">ahead</span> of the first
+ patch on blank paper, and then press and hold the instruments
+ button. When you hear a beep from the computer, you can then move
+ the instrument steadily over the patches, releasing the button after
+ the instrument is past the last patch. Moving the instrument too
+ fast or changing speeds may cause a mis-read, or a scan with few
+ samples read per patch.<br>
+ <br>
+ For the <span style="font-weight: bold;">ColorMunki</span> with the
+ default chart, the patches are the same width as the silver portion
+ of body (white version), or the textured portion of the body (black
+ version). Place aperture of the the instrument (located at its

+ and hold the instruments button. When you hear a beep from the
+ computer, you can then move the instrument steadily over the
+ patches, releasing the button after the instrument is past the last
+ patch. Moving the instrument too fast or changing speeds may cause a

+ style="font-weight: bold;">high density</span> ColorMunki chart (<a
+ href="printtarg.html#h">printtarg -h</a>), the patches are
+ arranged so that three rows are exactly the width of the body

+ <br>
+ Note that you may have to check that system alert sounds are enabled
+ and at a suitable volume to in order to hear the beep prompt. For

+ <br>
+ Ready to read strip XX : <br>
+ Strip read OK<br>
+ <br>
+ If there is an error of some sort there will be a double "fail"
+ beep, and a message will be issued, and you will be asked whether to
+ abort the chart reading, or retry the<br>
+ failed strip:<br>
+ <br>
+ Ready to read strip XX : <br>
+ Strip read failed due to misread (Not enough

+ <br>
+ If the strip is read successfully, but the patches values don't seem

These - packages differ in what features the manufacturers software - provides, as well as cosmetic differences between the instrument - (white and black). This comparison <a - href="http://www.colormunki.com/product/show?page=2">chart</a> - illustrates the differences. Used with Argyll, there are no - differences in operation of a ColorMunki instrument, irrespective of - which package it came with. The ColorMunki Design has the lowest - RRP, but the Photo package may be cheaper with discounting .<br> - <br> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Limitations & Features:</span><br> - <br> - Unlike the Eye-One Pro, the ColorMunki is only available in a U.V. - Cut (ie. "Ultra Violet filtered") model. This means that it is not - suitable for use with the Fluorescent Whitener Additive - Compensation option in Argyll (see <a href="FWA.html">here</a> for - a discussion about what FWA compensation is).<br> - <br> - Like the Eye-One Pro, this instrument does support the <a - href="spotread.html#H">high resolution</a> spectral mode.<br> - <br> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">OS X and X-Rite drivers</span><br> - <br> - Please note the installation <a - href="Installing_OSX.html#ColorMunki">instructions</a>.<br> - <br> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tips & Tricks:<br> - <br> - </span>In handling the instrument when about to make a reading, be - very careful not to accidentally press the switch - it is large and - easily pressed by accident. A guide of some sort (ie. a plastic - ruler) can help a lot in keeping the instrument over a line - of patches. <br> - <br> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Patch recognition:</span><br> - <br> - For the best chances of good patch recognition, the instrument - should be drawn smoothly and not too rapidly over the strip. (This - can be a little tricky due to the two small rubber feet on the - bottom of the device that aid its spot reading guide.) If there is a - misread, try slowing down slightly. Generally a higher quality set - of readings will result if slower scans are used, since there will - then be more samples averaged for each patch. <br> - <br> - In <a href="chartread.html">chartread</a>, the -<span - style="font-weight: bold;">T ratio</span> argument modifies the - patch consistency tolerance threshold for the ColorMunki. In - recognizing patches in a strip, the instrument takes multiple - readings as the strip is read, and then divide the readings up into - each patch. It then check the consistency of the multiple readings - corresponding to each patch, and reject the measurement if they are - too inconsistent. For some media (ie. a coarser screens, fabric - etc.) the default tolerance may be unreasonably tight, so the <span - style="font-weight: bold;">-T ratio</span> argument can be used to - modify this criteria. To loosen the tolerance, use a number greater - than 1.0 (ie. 1.5, 2.0). <br> - <br> - Note that <a href="printtarg.html">printtarg</a> provides the <a - href="printtarg.html#h">-h</a> option that allows the choice of - two different patch row widths with ColorMunki test charts.

One is that it - can operate un-tethered (off line). A whole chart can be read - un-tethered by first clearing any previous readings in the - instrument, then reading the chart TID strip, before reading all the - other strips. The instrument can then be connected up to <span - style="font-weight: bold;">chartread</span>, which will recognize - the chart, and download all the measurements.<br> - If there is no chart in the instrument when chartread connects to - it, then it will use the strip by strip tethered mode, just like the - other strip instruments. If the right number of spot readings are - present in the instrument, these will be used by <span - style="font-weight: bold;">chartread</span> too.<br> - <br> - Un-tethered spot measurements can also be read in using <span - style="font-weight: bold;">spotread</span>, which will notice the - stored readings, and offer to print them out, or they can be - ignored, and tethered readings taken. This will clear any saved spot - readings.<br> - <br> - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Note</span> that tethered (on-line) - strip reading will only work if the firmware in the device is - version 1.03 or greater. You can check the firmware version by - running with the verbose option: <span style="font-weight: bold;">-v<br> - <br> - Chart printing:<br> - <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br> - </span></span>Because the DTP20 measures exact distances using the - markings on its ruler, it's critical that the chart be printed out - exactly the right size. If the chart gets re-sized at all in the - process of printing it, the DTP20 is likely to fail in reading it. - If you have a problem with this, you might want to increase the page - margins using the <span style="font-weight: bold;">printtarg -m</span> - parameter, or find a printing path that preserves the test chart - size correctly.<br> - <br> - <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><span - style="font-weight: bold;">Operation:<br> - <br> - </span>When reading in tethered (on-line) mode, that the instrument - takes <span style="font-weight: bold;">several seconds</span> to - download the measurements after each strip, and that the indicator - will be in "rainbow" mode while this occurs. <span - style="text-decoration: underline;">Wait</span> until the - indicator turns solid green again before starting to measure the - next strip.<br> - <br> - To <span style="font-weight: bold;">reset</span> the instrument and - clear any stored readings: press the button three times in quick - succession. The indicator will turn solid blue. Then hold the button - down until the instrument beeps and the indicator goes out.

Then hold the button down until the - instrument beeps and the indicator goes out. Release the button and - the instrument should flash and then turn solid green.<br> - <br> - If the chart is particularly <span style="font-weight: bold;">small</span>, - the patches may end up printed very close to the edge of the chart, - and therefore it may be difficult to confine your scan to the chart, - and passing<br> - the instrument over the edge of the chart may prevent it reading - successfully. One way of working around this is to place the chart - on a larger piece of paper of the same type.<br> - <br> - The <span style="font-weight: bold;">speed</span> of scan can be - quite critical with this instrument.

+ to suite either refresh-type, or non-refresh displays, and 2)
+ Changing the calibration to suite a particular displays spectral
+ characteristics.<br>
+ <br>
+ A refresh type display uses a technology that presents different
+ portions of the image at different times, doing so at a high enough
+ rate that this is normally imperceptible. This time varying
+ characteristic can interfere with measuring a display color unless
+ the instrument makes allowances for it, typically by making its
+ measurement period a multiple of the display refresh period. Display
+ types that <span style="font-weight: bold;">refresh</span> are CRT
+ (Cathode Ray Tube), Single chip DLP (Digital Light Processing) and
+ Plasma displays. An example of a <span style="font-weight: bold;">non-refresh</span>
+ display technology is LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), although is a
+ few cases the back-light illumination may have a low enough
+ frequency flicker to benefit from the refresh mode.<br>
+ <br>
+ Instruments in which the display type selection only changes the
+ measurement mode (i.e. i1d3), will typically have some other
+ independent option to set the calibration type. Simpler instruments
+ combine the measurement mode with a calibration selections,
+ typically refresh+CRT and non-refresh+LCD. Some instruments are a
+ hybrid of both (Spyder4), where the display type can select between
+ generic refresh/non-refresh that can then use a .CCSS to set the
+ calibration type, or a combined selection of non-refresh and a
+ particular display type.<br>
+ <br>
+ See <a
+ href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_display_technology">Comparison_of_display_technology</a>
+ for some background on different display technologies.<br>

+ <h3><a name="refreshmeasurement"></a>Refresh Rate Measurement</h3>
+ <p>Most of the colorimeters that have a refresh display type
+ selection, also have an ability to measure the refresh rate of a
+ display. Some of the spectrometers also have a display refresh
+ rate measurement capability when in an emissive measurement mode,
+ even though they don't use this to support a refresh display mode.
+ You can do a display refresh rate measurement in <a
+ href="spotread.html">spotread</a> using the <b>'F' </b>key.
+ The particular instruments have a range of accuracy when making
+ this measurement. A rough guide is as follows:<br>

+ </span>The <span style="font-weight: bold;">ColorMunki</span> <span
+ style="font-weight: bold;">Design or Photo </span>from <a
+ href="http://www.xrite.com/">X-Rite</a> is currently
+ available in two different packages from the manufacturer. These
+ packages differ in what features the manufacturers software
+ provides, as well as cosmetic differences between the instrument
+ (white and black). This comparison <a
+ href="http://www.colormunki.com/product/show?page=2">chart</a>
+ illustrates the differences. Used with Argyll, there are no
+ differences in operation of a ColorMunki instrument, irrespective of
+ which package it came with. The ColorMunki Design has the lowest
+ RRP, but the Photo package may be cheaper with discounting .<br>
+ <br>
+ <span style="font-weight: bold;">Limitations & Features:</span><br>
+ <br>
+ Unlike the Eye-One Pro, the ColorMunki is only available in a U.V.
+ Cut (ie. "Ultra Violet filtered") model. This means that it is not
+ suitable for use with the Fluorescent Whitener Additive
+ Compensation option in Argyll (see <a href="FWA.html">here</a> for
+ a discussion about what FWA compensation is).<br>
+ <br>
+ Like the Eye-One Pro, this instrument does support the <a
+ href="spotread.html#H">high resolution</a> spectral mode.<br>
+ <br>
+ <span style="font-weight: bold;">OS X and X-Rite drivers</span><br>
+ <br>
+ Please note the installation <a
+ href="Installing_OSX.html#ColorMunki">instructions</a>.<br>
+ <br>
+ <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tips & Tricks:<br>
+ <br>
+ </span>In handling the instrument when about to make a reading, be
+ very careful not to accidentally press the switch - it is large and
+ easily pressed by accident. A guide of some sort (ie. a plastic
+ ruler) can help a lot in keeping the instrument over a line
+ of patches. <br>
+ <br>
+ <span style="font-weight: bold;">Patch recognition:</span><br>
+ <br>
+ For the best chances of good patch recognition, the instrument
+ should be drawn smoothly and not too rapidly over the strip. (This
+ can be a little tricky due to the two small rubber feet on the
+ bottom of the device that aid its spot reading guide.) If there is a
+ misread, try slowing down slightly. Generally a higher quality set
+ of readings will result if slower scans are used, since there will
+ then be more samples averaged for each patch. <br>
+ <br>
+ In <a href="chartread.html">chartread</a>, the -<span
+ style="font-weight: bold;">T ratio</span> argument modifies the
+ patch consistency tolerance threshold for the ColorMunki. In
+ recognizing patches in a strip, the instrument takes multiple
+ readings as the strip is read, and then divide the readings up into
+ each patch. It then check the consistency of the multiple readings
+ corresponding to each patch, and reject the measurement if they are
+ too inconsistent. For some media (ie. a coarser screens, fabric
+ etc.) the default tolerance may be unreasonably tight, so the <span
+ style="font-weight: bold;">-T ratio</span> argument can be used to
+ modify this criteria. To loosen the tolerance, use a number greater
+ than 1.0 (ie. 1.5, 2.0). <br>
+ <br>
+ Note that <a href="printtarg.html">printtarg</a> provides the <a
+ href="printtarg.html#h">-h</a> option that allows the choice of
+ two different patch row widths with ColorMunki test charts. [Some
+ people have successfully used the i1Pro patch layout with the
+ ColorMunki, by making a guide to keep it over the much narrower
+ patchs.]<br>

+ <br>
+ </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Availability:<br>
+ <br>
+ </span>The <span style="font-weight: bold;">DTP20</span> from <a
+ href="http://www.xrite.com/">X-Rite</a> was discontinued during
+ 2007, but may still be available from old stock or second hand. <br>
+ <br>
+ <span style="font-weight: bold;">Special features:</span><br>
+ <br>
+ The <span style="font-weight: bold;">DTP20</span> has a couple of
+ unique features that Argyll can take advantage of. One is that it
+ can operate un-tethered (off line). A whole chart can be read
+ un-tethered by first clearing any previous readings in the
+ instrument, then reading the chart TID strip, before reading all the
+ other strips. The instrument can then be connected up to <span
+ style="font-weight: bold;">chartread</span>, which will recognize
+ the chart, and download all the measurements.<br>
+ If there is no chart in the instrument when chartread connects to
+ it, then it will use the strip by strip tethered mode, just like the
+ other strip instruments. If the right number of spot readings are
+ present in the instrument, these will be used by <span
+ style="font-weight: bold;">chartread</span> too.<br>
+ <br>
+ Un-tethered spot measurements can also be read in using <span
+ style="font-weight: bold;">spotread</span>, which will notice the
+ stored readings, and offer to print them out, or they can be
+ ignored, and tethered readings taken. This will clear any saved spot
+ readings.<br>
+ <br>
+ <span style="font-weight: bold;">Note</span> that tethered (on-line)
+ strip reading will only work if the firmware in the device is
+ version 1.03 or greater. You can check the firmware version by
+ running with the verbose option: <span style="font-weight: bold;">-v<br>
+ <br>
+ Chart printing:<br>
+ <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br>
+ </span></span>Because the DTP20 measures exact distances using the
+ markings on its ruler, it's critical that the chart be printed out
+ exactly the right size. If the chart gets re-sized at all in the
+ process of printing it, the DTP20 is likely to fail in reading it.
+ If you have a problem with this, you might want to increase the page
+ margins using the <span style="font-weight: bold;">printtarg -m</span>
+ parameter, or find a printing path that preserves the test chart
+ size correctly.<br>
+ <br>
+ <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><span
+ style="font-weight: bold;">Operation:<br>
+ <br>
+ </span>When reading in tethered (on-line) mode, that the instrument
+ takes <span style="font-weight: bold;">several seconds</span> to
+ download the measurements after each strip, and that the indicator
+ will be in "rainbow" mode while this occurs. <span
+ style="text-decoration: underline;">Wait</span> until the
+ indicator turns solid green again before starting to measure the
+ next strip.<br>
+ <br>
+ To <span style="font-weight: bold;">reset</span> the instrument and
+ clear any stored readings: press the button three times in quick
+ succession. The indicator will turn solid blue. Then hold the button
+ down until the instrument beeps and the indicator goes out. Release
+ the button and the indicator should flash then return to solid green
+ (ready).<br>
+ <br>
+ To <span style="font-weight: bold;">calibrate</span> the
+ instrument, place it on its calibration tile, then press the button
+ three times in quick succession.The indicator will turn solid blue.
+ Click the button another three times in quick succession, and the
+ indicator should turn yellow. Then hold the button down until the
+ instrument beeps and the indicator goes out. Release the button and
+ the instrument should flash and then turn solid green.<br>
+ <br>
+ If the chart is particularly <span style="font-weight: bold;">small</span>,
+ the patches may end up printed very close to the edge of the chart,
+ and therefore it may be difficult to confine your scan to the chart,
+ and passing<br>
+ the instrument over the edge of the chart may prevent it reading
+ successfully. One way of working around this is to place the chart
+ on a larger piece of paper of the same type.<br>
+ <br>
+ The <span style="font-weight: bold;">speed</span> of scan can be
+ quite critical with this instrument. In particular, it doesn't work
+ very well if the scan is too <span style="font-weight: bold;">slow</span>.
+ You don't want to go too fast either, as this reduces the number of
+ samples per patch.<br>

A UV filtered - instrument can't deal intelligently with FWA (Fluorescent Whitener - Additive) effects in paper. (Look <a href="FWA.html">here</a> for - more information about FWA compensation.) Using FWA compensation you - can make measurements using ISO 13655:2009 M0, M1 and M2 conditions. - The M2 condition emulates a UV cut instrument.<br> - <br> - There have been four revisions of the Eye-One Pro, Rev.

If - there is a misread, try slowing down slightly. The Rev A and B. - instruments have a slower sampling rate than the latter revision - instruments, and hence must be used a bit more slowly. Generally a - higher quality set of readings will result if slower scans are used, - since there will then be more samples averaged for each patch.<br> - <br> - In <a href="chartread.html">chartread</a>, the -<span - style="font-weight: bold;">T ratio</span> argument modifies the - patch consistency tolerance threshold for the Eye-One Pro. In - recognizing patches in a strip, the instrument takes multiple - readings as the strip is read, and then divide the readings up into - each patch. It then check the consistency of the multiple readings - corresponding to each patch, and reject the measurement if they are - too inconsistent. For some media (ie. a coarser screens, fabric - etc.) the default tolerance may be unreasonably tight, so the <span - style="font-weight: bold;">-T ratio</span> argument can be used to - modify this criteria.

+href="http://xritephoto.com/ph_product_overview.aspx?id=1513&catid=149">package</a>
+ with more limited software from the manufacture, and takes a
+ noticeably longer time to make most measurements (a minimum of 1
+ second), but both instruments will take longer for very dark
+ samples, and under these conditions the speed difference is less
+ significant.<br>
+ <br>
+ The i1Display Pro <a
+href="http://xritephoto.com/ph_product_overview.aspx?id=1454&catid=109">package</a>
+ comes with i1Profiler, and the instrument is generally faster than
+ the ColorMunki Display, but other than this and the software
+ package, the instruments appear to be virtually identical. (Note
+ though that the ColorMunki Display is <u>unable</u> to measure the
+ refresh period, so is less repeatable in this mode than the
+ i1Display Pro).<br>
+ <br>
+ Both instruments are capable of using CCSS (<a
+ href="File_Formats.html#ccss">Colorimeter Calibration Spectral
+ Sample</a>) files, and this also gives the instrument the
+ capability of using a non-default standard observer. CCSS files can
+ be created using the <a href="ccxxmake.html">ccxxmake</a> tool, and
+ installed or translated from the .EDR files that are provided with
+ the instrument CD using the <a href="oeminst.html">oeminst</a>
+ utility using a spectrometer as a reference.<br>
+ <br>
+ There are some OEM versions of this instrument around too, and the <a
