Dear Tim, That was an important detail. And I tried it already and it arbeit gut! I must say I am very pleased with the way basICColor Catch drives the Spectroscan. To be able to read rows by rows instead of columns by columns cuts the measuring time in almost half. Why didn't GretagMacbeth thought of that way back 10 years ago, when they first introduce the instrument is beyond me? I noticed that Catch regularly recalibrates the Lino at every, oh!, 150 patches or so, avoiding the thermal drift issues noted by Ethan in ColorPort. Now, I did read the same IT8.7/4 target twice heute. And when I brought the measurements into BabelColor PatchTool for visual inspection, the first measurement file was not recognized as a standard IT8.7/4 Random test chart but the second measurement file was. PatchTool was then able to reorganize the patches according the standard Random format. I will give another try at the this target tomorrow but I think Catch is a solution for me.

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. | | | X | Position of the cross in other apps | | | X | | | | Position of the cross in basICColor catch | | | | | I hope this schematic graphic of the top left edge of a chart explains the difference of the position?!
