Hello everyone,
basICColor catch works a bit different than other measurement xy-instruments.
Other solutions are settings the dimensions of the chart by positioning the cross into the middle of a patch.
But in basICColor catch the cross has to be set at the outer corner of the patch to define/calculate the size of the chart.
If the cross is set to the middle of the patch basICColor catch will calculate the size of the chart wrong and it won't read out the chart correctly, because of the wrong size settings.

I hope this schematic graphic of the top left edge of a chart explains the difference of the position?!
Best regards.
