Target
This section includes popups listing predefined, and user defined targets, and for
seperately defining White Point and Gamma. The Gamma/Non-Gamma radio
buttons change the Gamma popup list from one type to the other. The Save as
Target button allows saving any configuration as a new custom target.
Target Luminance Values
This section allows users to choose between Visual Mode, where black and white
luminance values are set for the user, and Measured Mode, where these values can
be defined numerically in the Black Luminance and White Luminance entry boxes,
and matched by display measurements. Settings in this section will be saved as part
of Saved Targets in the Target section above.
Options
Other functions are grouped together in this section. These include Apply Video
Calibration, which allows users to see a real-time ‘before and after’ view of their
displays with and without calibration corrections applied. This Display to be
Certified allows users to tag a display for Certification. Check Ambient Light Level
when Calibrating determines whether the Ambient Light Assistant will be run as part
of future calibrations; this is not necessary once an appropriate Ambient Light level
has been established. Real Time Monitoring detemines whether Ambient Light will
be monitored continuously while the computer is in operation. Current Ambient
Light Level… lists the currently defined Ambient Light Level, and the Measrure
button below it allows a new Ambient Light Reading to be taken.
Calibration and Profiling
This section allows the user to chose specific Calibration and Profiling functions.
Selecting Calibrate only, will create calibration corrections, and build a profile in
which these corrections will be stored; this is identical to the Assistant based
calibration process. Chosing Profile only will profile the current state of the display
without calibration. This is a specialty function, not recommended for standard uses.
Checking both Calibrate and Profile will produce a result similar to the standard
Calibrate process, with the exception of defining the Calibration as 256 discrete points,
instead of defining it as a single number gamma curve (when possible) in the standard
process. The Measure button here will trigger whichever Calibration/Profiling
functions have been checked. The Check Calibration button will measure a set of
