- <h3><a name="strip"></a>Strip reading instruments</h3>
- When used with a <span style="font-weight: bold;">DT20</span>, <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">DTP41</span>, <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">DTP51</span>, <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">Eye-One Pro<span style="font-weight:
- bold;"> </span></span>or <span style="font-weight: bold;">ColorMunki</span>
- strip reading instrument, chartread will first establish
- communications with the instrument, and then set it up ready to read
- the strips. The strips are labeled A to ZZ, and for each strip it
- will prompt:<br>
- <br>
- About to read strip XX :<br>
- <br>
- where XX is the strip label, and this is followed by the available
- options to navigate, read the strip, or finish. Note that the normal
- (forward) direction of strip reading is one that starts at the strip
- label.<br>
- <br>
- For the <span style="font-weight: bold;">DTP51</span> you should
- feed the strip into the instrument, and the microswitch will trigger
- the read.<br>
- <br>
- For the <span style="font-weight: bold;">DTP41</span> you should
- line the appropriate strip up in the machine, and press its button.<br>
- <br>
- For the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Eye-One Pro</span> you
- should set the guide to the appropriate strip, place the instrument
- <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
- center) in the white space ahead of the first patch, 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. For the <span
- 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
- of the instrument. If you are careful you can use this to guide the
- center of the instrument over each row, or you may prefer to use
- something like a plastic ruler to help guide the instrument.<br>
- <br>
- Using the <span style="font-weight: bold;">DTP20</span> or the <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">Eye-One Pro</span> or <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">ColorMunki</span> with a randomized
- chart layout, the strip may be scanned from either direction. If a
- randomized chart layout has not been used for the <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">Eye-One Pro</span> or <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">ColorMunki</span>, then the chart
- should only be read in the one direction (use <a
- href="chartread.html#B">chartread -B</a>).<br>
- <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
- the Eye-One Pro and ColorMunki, a second beep will sound after a
- successfully read strip, or a double beep will sound,
- indicating a failure or warning that needs attention. See also the
- note on Linux in <a href="Installing_Linux.html">installation</a>.<br>
- <br>
- If the strip is read successfully there will be a single "success"
- beep, and the line will be followed with:<br>
- <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
- patches)<br>
- <br>
- Hit Esc to give up, any other key to retry:<br>
- <br>
- If you are unable to successfully read a strip after several
- retries, you can skip that strip using the <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">'n'</span> key, and save<br>
- the chart readings without that strip.<br>
- <br>
- If the strip is read successfully, but the patches values don't seem
- to be what is expected, you will get a double "fail" beep and
- the following type of warning:<br>
- <br>
- Ready to read strip XX :<br>
- (Warning) Seem to have read strip YY
- rather than XX !<br>
- Hit Return to use it anyway, any other key to
- retry, Esc, ^C or Q to give up:<br>
- <br>
- This could be because you have accidentally read the wrong strip (a
- common mistake), or it could be that the device response is so
- different from what is expected that warning is erroneous, or you
- may get a lot of these sorts of warnings if you are accidentally
- reading the wrong chart. You may also get this sort of warning if
- you are not using bi-direction reading (chartread -B), and read the
- strip from the wrong end.<br>
- If you are absolutely sure you lined up the correct strip, then hit
- return, otherwise line the appropriate strip up again, and hit some
- other key (ie. space).<br>
- Erroneous warnings are less likely if a previous profile for a
- device was given to <span style="font-weight: bold;">targen</span>
- to set more accurate expectations.<br>
- <br>
- You may also see the following type of warning:<br>
- <br>
- Ready to read strip XX :<br>
- (Warning) Patch error YY.YYY (>35 not good,
- >95 bad)<br>
- There is at least one patch with an very unexpected
- response!<br>
- Hit Return to use it anyway, any other key to
- retry, Esc, ^C or Q to give up:<br>
- <br>
- Similar to the previous warning, this indicates that while the right
- strip appears to have been read, one of the patch readings is quite
- different to what is expected. This may indicate an error of some
- sort (ie. damaged test chart, or bad instrument positioning), or may
- be erroneous if the actual device response is quite different to the
- expectation. Erroneous warnings are less likely if a previous
- profile for a device was given to <span style="font-weight: bold;">targen</span>
- to set more accurate expectations.<br>
- <br>
- You can also navigate the next strip to be read using the <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">'f'</span> key to move forward and the
- <span style="font-weight: bold;">'b'</span> keys<span
- style="font-weight: bold;"></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>
- to move backwards. The prompt will indicate whether this strip has
- already been read or not, or whether all strips have been read. You
- can also use <span style="font-weight: bold;">'n'</span> to move
- forward to the next unread strip. After each successful reading it
- will move forward to the next unread strip. When you are finished,
- use the <span style="font-weight: bold;">'d'</span> to indicate
- that you are done. You can choose to finish before all the strips
- are read, and the patches that have been read will be saved to the
- .ti3 file. This is useful if you are unable to read a particular
- strip successfully, or if you are unable to finish the chart in one
- session, and you can later <span style="text-decoration:
- underline;">resume</span> reading the chart by using the <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">chartread -r</span> flag. [You could
- resume reading the chart patch by patch using the <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">chartread -r -p</span> if you are
- unable to read a strip successfully.]<br>
- <br>
- When reading in patch by patch mode, there are a few additional
- navigation options, such as <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span
- style="font-weight: bold;">F</span></span> to move forward 10
- patches, <span style="font-weight: bold;">B</span> to move
- backwards 10 patches, and <span style="font-weight: bold;">g</span>
- to go to a specific patch.<br>
- <br>
- You can abort the whole process at any time by hitting Escape, and
- the readings will not be saved.<br>
- <br>
- <hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;">
- <h3><a name="xy"></a>X-Y Table instruments</h3>
- When you are using an XY table type instrument, such as a Gretag <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">SpectroScan</span>, chartread
- will first establish communications with the instrument, and then
- set it up ready to read the chart. You will be prompted for each
- sheet with a message such as:<br>
- <br>
- Please make sure that the white reference is in
- slot 1, then<br>
- place sheet 1 of 4 on table, then<br>
- hit return to continue, Esc to give up<br>
- <br>
- After hitting return you will be prompted to line up three squares
- on the sheet, one at a time:<br>
- <br>
- Using the XY table controls, locate patch A1 with
- the sight,<br>
- then hit return to continue, Esc to give up<br>
- <br>
- On completing this, the instrument will commence reading each sheet.<br>
- <br>
- <hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;">
- <h3><a name="spot"></a>Spot reading instruments</h3>
- When used with a <span style="font-weight: bold;">DT22</span> or <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">SpectroLino</span> or use the patch by
- patch reading mode (<span style="font-weight: bold;">chartread -p</span>)
- with the <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span> <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">Eye-One Pro<span style="font-weight:
- bold;"> </span></span>or <span style="font-weight: bold;">ColorMunki</span>
- instrument, or use the external values mode (<span
- style="font-weight: bold;">chartread -x</span>), chartread will
- first establish communications with the instrument, and then set it
- up ready to read the patches. The patches are typically labeled by
- column A to ZZ, and row 1-999. Each patch will prompt:<br>
- <br>
- Ready to read patch 'XX' :<br>
- <br>
- where XX is the patch label, and this is followed by the available
- options to navigate, read the strip, or finish.<br>
- <br>
- Place the instrument on the indicated patch, and trigger a reading
- using one of the available methods (typically using the instrument
- switch of pressing a key).<br>
- <br>
- There should be an audible prompt on a successful or failed reading.
- <br>
- <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
- the Eye-One Pro and ColorMunki, a second beep will sound after a
- successfully read strip, or a double beep will sound,
- indicating a failure or warning that needs attention. See also the
- note on Linux in <a href="Installing_Linux.html">installation</a>.<br>
- <br>
- If the patch is read successfully, the line will be completed with:<br>
- <br>
- Ready to read patch XX :<br>
- Patch read OK<br>
- <br>
- If there is an error of some sort, a message will be issued, and you
- will be asked whether to abort the chart reading, or retry the<br>
- failed patch:<br>
- <br>
- Ready to read patch XX : read_strip
- returned 'Strip misread' (Bad reading)<br>
- <br>
- Strip read failed due to misread<br>
- Hit Esc to give up, any other key to retry:<br>
- <br>
- You can navigate the next patch to be read using the <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">'f'</span> key to move forward and the
- <span style="font-weight: bold;">'b'</span> keys<span
- style="font-weight: bold;"></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>
- to move backwards, while <span style="font-weight: bold;">'F'</span>
- and <span style="font-weight: bold;">'B'</span> will move forward
- and backwards by 10 patches. The prompt will indicate whether this
- patch has already been read or not, or whether all patches have been
- read. You can also use <span style="font-weight: bold;">'n'</span>
- to move forward to the next unread patch. When you are finished, use
- the <span style="font-weight: bold;">'d'</span> to indicate that
- you are done. You can choose to finish before all the patches are
- read, and they will be saved to the .ti3 file. This is useful if you
- are unable to finish the chart in one session, and you can later <span
- style="text-decoration: underline;">resume</span> reading the
- chart by using the <span style="font-weight: bold;">chartread -r</span>

- 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>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>

- </span>The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Eye-One Pro</span> from
- <a href="http://www.xrite.com/">X-Rite</a> (was Gretag MacBeth) is
- available in two packages from the manufacturer. These packages
- differ partly in what accessories come with the instrument, but
- primarily in what features the manufacturers software provides. This
- comparison <a
- href="http://www.xrite.com/product_overview.aspx?ID=812">chart</a>
- illustrates the differences. Used with Argyll, there are no
- differences in operation of an Eye-One Pro instrument, irrespective
- of which package it came with. The lowest cost package is the <a
- href="http://www.xrite.com/product_overview.aspx?ID=1461">i1 Basic
- Pro</a>.<br>
- <br>
- The EFI ES-1000 (which is a re-badged Eye-One Pro) is also reported
- to work with Argyll.<br>
- <br>
- Unless you know what you're doing, and have a very specific reason
- to buy an instrument fitted with a UV (Ultra Violet) filter, make
- sure that you buy an instrument without the filter. 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. A, B, D and
- E (AKA Eye-One Pro2). The rev B, D and E are capable of sampling
- twice as fast as the Rev. A version of the instrument, and are also
- available with an ambient light reading capability.<br>
- <br>
- <span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE</span> for those running on
- older versions of Linux with a Rev. D, there was a problem with the
- Linux USB stack that causes the instrument to stop working once it
- has been used. The only workaround is to unplug and replug the
- instrument in again, whereupon it can be used one time again. A fix
- for this problem was in the Linux 2.6.26 kernel release.<br>
- <br>
- See also <a href="i1proDriver.html">How can I have confidence in
- the i1pro Driver ?</a><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. 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. To loosen the tolerance, use a number greater
- than 1.0 (ie. 1.5, 2.0). <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br>
- <br>
- <span style="font-weight: bold;">Special features:</span><br>
- <br>
- A feature unique to Argyll when used with the Eye-One Pro, is the
- high resolution spectral mode. This returns spectral measurements at
- 3.333 nm spacing, rather than the default 10nm spacing, and also
- extends the range of wavelengths very slightly. This high resolution
- may assist in giving better accuracy for "peaky" emissive sources
- such as illuminants and displays. The high resolution mode is
- selected by using the <span style="font-weight: bold;">-H</span>
- flag on the command line to <span style="font-weight: bold;">dispcal</span>,
- <span style="font-weight: bold;">dispread</span>, <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">chartread</span>, and <span
- style="font-weight: bold;">spotread</span>. It can also be toggled
- on and off within <span style="font-weight: bold;">spotread</span>
- using the <span style="font-weight: bold;">h</span> key.<br>
- <br>
- Note that while finer spectral resolution will worsen the signal to
- noise ratio of the individual spectral values, the signal to noise
- ratio of the resulting tri-stimulus color values will be identical
- to normal resolution mode, since the same overall integration is
- performed. <br>
- <br>
- See <a href="i1proHiRes.html">Does the i1pro High Resolution mode
- improve accuracy ?</a><br>

- 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>

- 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>

- 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>
