ColorPort Updated to 2.0.5
FWIW, XRite has upgraded ColorPort to 2.0.5 to address some of the issues previously discussed and to support the new i1Pro2 device. Get it here: http://www.xrite.com/product_overview.aspx?ID=719&Action=support&SoftwareID=... Scott Martin www.on-sight.com
Downloaded and installed it....but I don't see any indication that it supports the i1Pro2. They don't list it as a separate instrument and the patch parameters (height/width/gap) are not different the the original i1Pro. Guess I'll just have to try it and see if it works. Interestingly (or not), the help system and manual still says version 1.5.4. Terry On Apr 30, 2012, at 11:38 AM, Scott Martin wrote:

Yeah, my i1Pro2 won't even calibrate and I don't see anything concerning the different measurement modes. It's listed as supported but I don't think so. CP is more for legacy devices anyway... Scott Martin www.on-sight.com On Apr 30, 2012, at 12:28 PM, Terence Wyse wrote:

Doesn’t seem to. At least they fixed that goofy installer issue under Lion. One can actually install the product instead of having to go into a package. The splash screen says 2.0.5 so I assume that is the correct version. Andrew Rodney http://www.digitaldog.net/
Allow me to borrow this thread to ask whether anyone has ever successfully measured a Standard IT8.7/4 Random test chart with ColorPort off a Spectroscan XY table? I tried with v2.05 that I downloaded and installed this afternoon but it is forever stuck on measuring the chart "vertically"? I could not find any option for telling the software to measure the chart rotated, horizontally, you know, the way the chart sits on the Spectroscan. Looks like the built-in IT8.7/4 Random is coded for reading off a DTP70 and that's the end of it :( Do I need a special XML file? Anyone? I have a mail into X-Rite tech support about this, in case...

Roger, I got the new Colorport (Windows version - not brave enough to go through the hassle of using a Mac for this) working on a Spectroscan with old targets. I needed to create a new ColorPort target to do so. The key was rotating the patch set 90 degrees counter clockwise. I started with a MeasureTool format chart, did the rotation using ColorLab (Mirror, followed by Swap Rows/Columns), imported the patch set into ColorPort, and fiddled around with the paper size, margins, and patch size until the ColorPort version matched the real target. Even though ColorPort claims to support Landscape orientation , I could not get it to do so. I used a page size of 8.5 x 11.5 inches, no margins, portrait orientation. The chart I tested required the patch size be set to 6.25mm (nothing like mixing your units!). ColorPort measured away happily. The measurement quality, however, was useless. ColorPort only rarely re-calibrates the Spectrolino. Our charts have a number of repeated patches. MeasureTool shows each series of repeated patches agreeing within 0.05dE of each other. Measuring the same chart with ColorPort 2.05 showed the effects of thermal drift. The worst offender were two identical patches that ColorPort reported differed by 1.21 dE. A 40% increase in measurement speed does not justify a 25x increase in measurement error.

Dear Ethan, Thank you for taking the time to explain your technique. I think I got the idea and I shall give it a try.
