Category (c)- The instruments sold by an OEM, which have

instruments.
As examples, the custom i1 Display2 recommended by NEC for many
wide-gamut NEC monitors (called the MDSVSENSOR2) is a Category (b)
model while the HP-branded i1 Display2 (HP DreamColor Advanced
Profiling Solution, KZ300AA) sold by HP for use with the HP
DreamColor monitors is a Category (c) model. (Note that while the NEC
MDSVSENSOR2 has the same communication interface as the standard i1
Display2, it has a different set of sensor filters which is better
adapted to the wide gamut primaries of many NEC monitors.)
In the past, the X-Rite SDK could be used with the Category (a) and
(b) instruments; this explains, for instance, why third party
software can be used with the X-Rite i1 Display2 and the NEC i1
MDSVSENSOR2, but not with the HP DreamColor i1 Display2.
To make a distinction between the HP Dreamcolor and the HP Z printer DP
II versions:
In my experience the HP branded i1 Display II included in the Z printer
models optional Advanced Profiling Solution can be used with ArgyllCMS,
Dispcalgui, without issues. That model does not have its filtering
adapted to a specific monitor and acts similar to the normal i1 Display
II model. I use ccmxmake of ArgyllCMS to create an extra color
correction matrix like can be done for the normal i1 Display II.
If the communication interface for the Dreamcolor versions could be
cracked I suppose that ccmxmake could adapt the filtering sufficiently
for other monitor types. There may even be some experience on adaption
with the NEC variety.
