On a related note, a few weeks ago I experimented with my iSis + ColorPort to see what minimum patch size (width primarily) I could get away with. I started at 3mm and increased the value in .5mm increments. I found that it would "agree" to measure the 5x5mm patches but not reliably. I started getting reliable measurements around 5.5x5.5mm. I measured a relatively small chart (letter size or so) so I've no clue whether it will measure this patch size reliably up to around 24".
I also found it annoying that Measure Tool doesn't allow you to build a chart much past about 18-19" for the iSisXL but it will go up to about 24" for the standard iSis...a patch "limit" of around 2,500 patches per page seemed to be the common denominator. ColorPort on the other, without doing any "hacks", will allow either version of iSis to build charts 24" long.
