Once the device is connected, select SETTINGS / Measurement Option Select the following parameters: Confirm chart recognition result before start of measurement. Select "Automatic data export": create a folder to save measurements. This way, FD-S2w will automatically export the measurements into the specified folder. Select "Use conditions at right" and please make sure to select: - Deactivate Density - Activate only colorspace - Activate Spectral Data - Activate only M1 as measurement condition (or M2 / M0 depending on your needs) Use Data List name. Format: please use CGATS txt File (Output ID Order) (*.txt) 4. Once the device is connected, select SETTINGS / Measurement Option Select the following parameters: Color space: CMYK Measurement area Language: your language Import charts from i1Profiler in FD-S2w FD-S2w 1.

A new windows opens called Create Chart 42 Columns 49 Rows 6. You need to modify the page size based on the real size of the chart Please apply the following calculation for WIDTH: Total Column x Patch Size ( 41 + 1 ) x 6mm = 252 mm Then please add 10mm 252mm + 10mm = 262 mm Please enter 262mm in WIDTH i1 Profiler always creates a second measurement area when blank patches are generated, make sure to count the additional column in your calculation 7. Enter the value found for WIDTH: 262mm in our example. You'll see the white space is reduced to the real width of the chart 8. Please apply the following calculation for HEIGHT Do the following for HEIGHT: Total Row x Patch Size 49 x 6mm = 294 mm Then please add 10mm 294mm + 10mm = 304 mm Please enter 304mm in HEIGHT 9. Enter the value found for HEIGHT: 304mm in our example. You'll see the white space is reduced to the real height of the chart 10. Click Save. You can now continue the procedure and insert the chart Measure and export measurements from FD-S2w FD-S2w 1. Click on the template on the top left to highlight it, then load the printed test chart in the same way the patch are displayed on the screen. 2. FD-9 is now detecting the patches by comparing the scanned image with the reference data contained in the .xml file 3. After the measurement is successfully done, activate the Spectral Data box, and select the measurement condition (M1, M0, M2, etc) you want to export 4. Then right click the measurement and clic Save 5. Select CGATS txt File (Output ID order) (*.txt) file format Import measurements from FD-S2w in I1Profiler I1Profiler 1. Go to Measurement area and select Load Page Data 2. Select Load Page data in Measurement area and select the CGATS file you have previously exported from FD-S2w 3. Select the measurement condition previously selected in FD-S2w 4. Please select Unknown to avoid I1Profiler to convert the data 5. You can now continue the profiling process from I1Profiler.
