Wished I knew what types or formatting makes the ColorSync server unhappy ! New trial…
They are good instruments, and scanning a 729 patches chart with it was quick (at the time) but required a steady hand. Mine still yields precise measurements after over ten years of usage. I have not used it much though, just for producing my own printers profiles, which were very good even with the metameric inks.
Mine is even the pre-USB model and I have to use the Keyspan adapter. Still works! ... touch wood.
Graeme, no worries as far as I am concerned. I have to keep a Snow Leopard setting anyway and the thing works (well, most of the time) with Rosetta.

It is no longer in the catalog of Avantes and the last time it was available must be more than two years ago. A friend then tried to get a recalibration done and they sold him a new one at a lower price than they initially asked. I do not think there is a wide user base left. In a sense the Xenon lamp etc with continuous spectral output into UV gave it better specs than even the latest X-rite Eye1 models. The electronic circuits inside are however more than a decade old in design not to mention the Xenon flash capacitors that age. My SpectroCam went belly up 3 years ago; unreliable measurements.
Avantes has a wide range of scientific spectrometers, another market.

Sorry, there's no Spectrocam support. Are they still available ?
[It's a lot of work to add such support, and I'd rather spend it
on newer devices.]
