5.8.1 Description
Overview
The reading environment settings for diagnostic displays allow the user to specify the color temperature
and luminance of the Barco SteadyColor displays. The reading environment settings for non-diagnostic
displays allow the user to specify the maximum luminance of other displays attached to the workstation.

Supported display controllers
When driven by an MXRT-x500 or later display controller, the Reading Environment can be configured on
MDMC-12133, MDNC-6121, Barco MDRC displays, and third party displays.
Diagnostic reading environment configuration is available on Coronis Uniti displays that
are calibrated with QAWeb 1.13.01 or later and on MDNC-6121 displays that are config-
ured with QAWeb 1.13.10 or later. Additionally, the system must not be connected to the
QAWeb Server. If connected to the server, set the reading environment using the QAWeb
Agent. There is no QAWeb requirement for non-diagnostic reading environment config-
uration.
5.8.2 O peration
Using Reading Environment for SteadyColor Diagnostic Displays
Configure the white point chromaticity, ambient light, color calibration model, and calibrated luminance to
user preference. After the settings have been chang
ed, the QAWeb Agent will check if it has calibration
files for the new settings. If it does, it will upload the calibration data to the display, which may take 20-60
seconds. If it does not have the calibration files, it will calibrate the display to create them, which may take
up to 10 minutes.
When changes to the Reading Environment for Diagnostic Displays are made, the Barco
System Settings Control Panel will indicate that changes are still in progress. Please let
the system apply its changes before proceeding
with readings.
Using Reading Environment for Non-Diagnostic Displays
Reading Environment can be individually enabled on each non-diagnostic display to reduce its luminance.
Unlike DimView, the luminance of these displays will not change with cursor movement. The Reading
Environment feature can be used in conjunction with DimView.
