    <h2><b>spectro/oeminst</b></h2>
    <h3>Summary</h3>
    A special purpose tool that installs various Instruments
    Manufacturers support files to enable various instrument operations
    when used with Argyll, as well as install colorimeter calibration
    and spectral sample files so that they appear in the display type
    list (<b>-y</b> option).<br>
    For the Spyder 2, it can install the instrument manufacturers PLD
    firmware pattern, which is necessary for it to operate.<br>
    For the Spyder 4 or 5, it can enable the full range of manufacturers
    colorimeter calibration selections, as well as install CCSS files.<br>
    For the eye-one display 3 it can&nbsp; locate and translate X-Rite
    .EDR files to CCSS files and install them to enable a full range of
    colorimeter calibration selections, as well as install CCSS files.<br>
    For all colorimeters it can install CCMX files make for that model
    of colorimeter.<br>

    <h3></h3>
    <h3>Flags and Parameters</h3>
    The <span style="font-style: italic;">inputfiles</span> arguments
    are optional, and and can be used to specify the MSWindows setup.exe
    file from the installation CD or other files to install. If files
    are specified, then they can be any combination of the setup.exe
    file, .dll libraries that contain the files to be installed, or
    X-Rite .edr files to convert or the equivalent to an Argyll .ccss
    files, or<br>
    .ccss or .ccmx files created using <a href="ccxxmake.html">ccxxmake</a>.<br>
    <br>
    The <b>-v</b> flag enables verbosity. This may be of use in
    figuring out what went wrong if it doesn't work, and where files
    have been installed.<br>
    <br>
    The <span style="font-weight: bold;">-n</span> flag causes oeminst
    to show where the files would be installed or saved to, rather than
    actually doing it.<br>
    <br>
    The <span style="font-weight: bold;">-c</span> flag causes oeminst
    to save the files to the current directory, rather than the install
    location.<br>
    <br>
    The <span style="font-weight: bold;">-S</span> option allows
    installing the file(s) in a local system location, rather than the
    default user accessible location. With this option you may need to
    run this as superuser using the "sudo" command on OS X and Linux
    systems.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight:
        bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span><br>
    <h3>Usage Details and Discussion</h3>
    <p>The <span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Spyder










        2</span> instrument cannot function without the presence of the
      instrument vendors PLD firmware pattern for the device. This
      firmware is not provided with Argyll, since it has not been made
      available under a compatible license.<br>
      <br>
      The purchaser of a Spyder 2 instrument should have received a copy
      of this firmware along with their instrument from the original
      vendor, and <span style="font-weight: bold;">oeminst</span>
      enables their instrument, by locating the firmware in the users
      copy of the instrument install files.<br>
      <br>
      On Microsoft Windows or Apple OS X platforms, <span
        style="font-weight: bold;">oeminst</span> will look to see if
      the vendors drivers have been installed on the users machine, and
      locate the firmware pattern from there. If the vendors drivers
      have not been installed, or the user does not wish to install
      them, or no vendors drivers are available for the users platform
      (i.e. Linux), then <span style="font-weight: bold;">oeminst</span>
      will also attempt to locate the Spyder 2 installation CDROM, and
      make use of the firmware pattern from there.<br>
      <br>
      If the instrument firmware pattern is successfully located, then
      oeminst will create a <span style="font-weight: bold;">spyd2PLD.bin</span>
      file in a subdirectory of the users home directory, or if the <span
        style="font-weight: bold;">-S l</span> option is used, will
      store it in a system wide location. (the <a
href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html">XDG










        Base Directory specifications</a> are used as a basis for
      storing the file). Programs that access instruments such as&nbsp;
      <span style="font-weight: bold;">spotread</span>, <span
        style="font-weight: bold;">dispcal</span> and <span
        style="font-weight: bold;">dispread</span>, can then locate and
      load the firmware into the instrument.<br>
      <br>
      <span style="font-weight: bold;">Note</span> that the <span
        style="font-weight: bold;">spyd2PLD.bin</span> file created by
      oeminst contains the proprietary and copyrighted firmware provided
      by the instrument vendor, and while the vendor has provided the
      firmware to the end user to facilitate the use of their purchased
      instrument, the instrument vendor (typically) does not permit the
      user to distribute such a file or make copies for purposes other
      than making use of their own instrument.<br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
      The <span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Spyder










        4</span>&nbsp; or <u><b>Spyder 5</b></u> instrument does not
      have the full range of vendor instrument calibration options
      without the presence of the instrument vendors calibration
      information for the device. This calibration information is not
      provided with Argyll, since it has not been made available under a
      compatible license.<br>
      <br>
      The purchaser of a Spyder 4 or 5 instrument should have received a
      copy of this calibration information along with their instrument
      from the original vendor, and <span style="font-weight: bold;">oeminst</span>
      enables the full range of calibration choice for their instrument,
      by locating the necessary information in the users copy of the
      instrument install files.</p>
    <p>On Microsoft Windows or Apple OS X platforms, <span
        style="font-weight: bold;">oeminst</span> will look to see if
      the vendors drivers have been installed on the users machine, and
      locate the calibration information from there. If the vendors
      drivers have not been installed, or the user does not wish to
      install them, or no vendors drivers are available for the users
      platform (i.e. Linux), then <span style="font-weight: bold;">oeminst</span>
      will also attempt to locate the Spyder 4 or 5 installation CDROM,
      and make use of the calibration information from there. If you
      have downloaded the OEM software from the vendors website, then
      you should run <b>oeminst</b> on the install package you
      downloaded.<br>
    </p>
    <br>
    <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>The <span
      style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">i1d3</span>
    family of instruments can make use of display specific spectral
    calibration information, which improves their accuracy when used on
    displays of a similar type. The manufacturer provides 5 of these <b>.edr</b>
    calibration files that cover various projectors and LCD displays
    with the instrument on the install CD. The <span
      style="font-weight: bold;">oeminst</span> utility allows you to
    translate these files into Argyll <span style="font-weight: bold;">CCSS</span>
    format, and install them where the measurement tools can
    automatically find them, so that they can be selected using the <span
      style="font-weight: bold;">-y</span> option.<br>
    Also provided with Argyll in the ref directory is <span
      style="font-weight: bold;">CRT.ccss</span> to cover CRT type
    displays. <span style="font-weight: bold;">oeminst</span> allows
    this file to be installed too.<br>
    <br>
    On Microsoft Windows or Apple OS X platforms, <span
      style="font-weight: bold;">oeminst</span> will look to see if the
    manufacturers files have been installed on the users machine, and
    locate them from there. If the manufacturers files have not been
    installed, or the user does not wish to install them, or no
    manufacturers installation is available for the users platform (i.e.
    Linux), then <span style="font-weight: bold;">oeminst</span> will
    also attempt to locate the i1d3 installation CDROM, and make use of
    the .edr files from there.<br>
    <br>
    If the .edr files are successfully located, then oeminst will
    translate them to .ccss files and copy them into a <span
      style="font-weight: bold;"></span> subdirectory of the users home
    directory, or if the <span style="font-weight: bold;">-S l</span>
    option is used, will store it in a system wide location. (the <a
href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html">XDG











      Base Directory specifications</a> are used as a basis for storing
    the file). Programs that access instruments such as&nbsp; <span
      style="font-weight: bold;">spotread</span>, <span
      style="font-weight: bold;">dispcal</span> and <span
      style="font-weight: bold;">dispread</span>, can then locate and
    list the installed .ccss as possible choices for the <span
      style="font-weight: bold;">-y</span> option.<br>
    <br>
    You can also install <b>CCSS</b> and <b>CCMX</b> files that you
    have created using <a href="ccxxmake.html">ccxxmake</a>, and these
    will then be listed and selected as a display type selection using
    the <b>-y</b> option of the utilities that access colorimeter
    devices. Note that <b>CCMX</b> selections will only show up for the
    colorimeter model that they were created for.<br>
    <br>
    If you are going to use the same CCSS or CCMX file all the time,
    then you may want to set the <a href="Environment.html">ARGYLL_COLMTER_CAL_SPEC_SET</a>
    environment variable.<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    To allow <span style="font-weight: bold;">oeminst</span> to install
    files from the CDROM, it should be in a CD drive prior to running
    oeminst. If your Linux system is not running automount, or your
    automount is setup to mount CDROM's somewhere other than <span
      style="font-style: italic;">/media</span>,<span style="font-style:
      italic;"> /mnt/cdrom</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">/media/cdrom</span>
    or <span style="font-style: italic;">/cdrom</span>, then you will
    have to mount the CDROM manually, and give oeminst the path to the
    CDROM setup/setup.exe file as the argument <span style="font-style:
      italic;">inputfile</span>.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br>
      <br>
      NOTE </span>that under <span style="font-weight: bold;">OS X
      10.6</span> (Snow Leopard) and latter, you may need to run oeminst
    as root to be able to mount the CDROM's ISO partition. The simplest
    way of doing this is to use the "sudo" commands. e.g. "sudo
    oeminst", which will then ask you to enter the root password.<br>
