+ The Cube must be connected via USB for operation with ArgyllCMS, and
+ can be connected either by USB or using Bluetooth LE when used with
+ <a href="http://www.argyllpro.com.au/">ArgyllPRO ColorMeter</a> on
+ capable Android devices.<br>
+ <br>
+ The Cube goes to sleep fairly rapidly and must be woken up by
+ pressing the top of it before connecting via USB to be recognized by
+ ArgyllCMS, although once connected, and with an ArgyllCMS utility
+ running, it should stay awake.<br>
+ <br>
+ When connecting via Bluetooth to ColorMeter, the foreground
+ application will be the one that connects to it.<br>
+ <br>
+ The ability to measure values into its own memory and recover them
+ later is not supported, since it is not possible to use the
+ ArgyllCMS calibrations with this feature.<br>
+ <br>
+ <span style="font-weight: bold;">Calibration:</span><br>
+ <br>
+ As well as the normal white calibration step, the ArgyllCMS driver
+ offers two option supplemental calibration steps that can improve
+ accuracy, but both require appropriate calibration conditions. You
+ can use <a href="spotread.html">spotread</a> with the 'k' command
+ to trigger this calibration.<br>
+ <br>
+ The <b>black calibration</b> requires a light trap, and the easiest
+ way of providing this is to place the Cube in a location that is
+ dark (i.e. not illuminated directly by any light) and some distance
+ from any surface. A practical approach I have used is to place the
+ measuring end in a thick black sock, and hide it from direct
+ illumination while this calibration step is done.<br>
+ <br>
+ The <b>gloss calibration</b> requires a black glossy surface. I
+ have used a paint catalog gloss paint black sample square for this,
+ but some other completely black glossy surface of sufficient size
+ such as a glossy black plastic item or a smooth surface painted in
+ gloss black paint should also work.<br>
