For the Linearization, this method; (using Gretag's measurement file) works
well, since you CAN import it, just as you can import your Target
measurements. However, depending on the instrument used, you will have to
'manually' strip out GMB's STRIPES - leader and trailer rows of CMYK values
added to the test chart, since you can not import the 'reference' file and
Monaco is expecting ONLY the actual values, as you see them laid out on
screen (40-step CMYK).
If you find yourself needing to import GMB's measurements into other Apps,
on a regular [daily, like myself], then you can use Excel and create Macros
(a series of row deletions, copies and pastes) to extract the data just as
you'd like to another file and save that. I do this for extracting density
values and plotting a curve (chart) before importing into Rips. Even with
the Reference file, depending on how the importing App handles averaging
multiple instances of the same color; be it calculate mean, using the first
patch or what have you, it can get a little ugly sometimes.
Frankly I do this for all measurements, 'cause I like to separate the
measurements for the Rip (independent) whenever possible. This let's me know
that the measurements can be independently verified, when/if needed and also
peeks in on whether the other App is 'massaging' the data in any way. That,
and I think Measure Tool is more sensitive to errors/misreads and less
likely to let them slip by. This could just be my personal preference.
