    <h3>Usage Details and Discussion</h3>
    txt2ti3 takes the Gretag/Logo/X-Rite/Barbieri/etc. test chart
    results, and converts them into Argyll&nbsp;<a
      href="File_Formats.html#.ti3">.ti3</a> CGATS files.<br>
    It is quite common to find profile test chart data from various
    standards bodies and industry organizations in one of these formats,
    so it is useful to be able to convert them for use with Argyll. ICC
    profiles created using Gretag Profile Maker also commonly contain
    the test chart results embedded in the profile, inside an ICC tag.<br>
    <br>
    A variety of different packaging of Gretag/Logo/X-Rite/Barbieri data
    can be accepted: <br>
    <br>
    1&nbsp;source files, consisting of a combined device value and CIE
    and/or spectral values.<br>
    2 source files, consisting of &nbsp;a file containing the device
    values, and a file containing the CIE and/or spectral values.<br>
    2 source files, consisting of a file containing the device values
    and the CIE values, and a file containing the spectral values.<br>
    3 source files, consisting of a file containing the device values, a
    file containing the CIE values, and a file containing the spectral
    values.<br>
    <br>
    X-Rite ColorPort seems to produce a single source file containing
    combined device value and CIE and/or spectral values.<br>
    <br>
    The Gretag/Logo test chart results format seem to change with each
    minor release of Profile Maker, so this tool may not work in all
    cases.<br>
    <br>
    Use the Barbieri .CIE file<br>
    <br>
    The <span style="font-style: italic;">outbasefile</span> is the
    base of the output file(s), to which txt2ti3 will automatically
    append a .ti3 and .ti2 extension.<br>
    <br>
    The input files may have data that is scaled to one of three levels:
    1.0, 100.0 or 255.0, and txt2ti3 attempts to guess what the
    appropriate range is, in order to scale to Argyll's standard range 0
    .. 100.0.<br>
