User Manual
Tip: Measurement instrument
basICColor recommends to connect the
measurement instrument to the computer
before starting SpectraView Profiler 5.
Some instruments can only be identified
by SpectraView Profiler 5 when they are
already connected to the computer.
For some instrument this is required
because otherwise the system driver
for the instrument will not be loaded by
the operating system and SpectraView
Profiler 5 will output an error message.

3.5 Selecting a measurement instrument

The next step is to select a measurement instrument in the pop-up
window which shows up after the profile creation process was started.
At the first start of SpectraView Profiler 5 there is no measurement
instrument selected. Besides selecting the instrument there are some
additional options which have to be selected for the operating mode of
the instrument.
Different measurement devices have different option which can be
selected. For detailed information about the different instrument setting
take a look chapter 4.1 select instrument.
At first the operation <Mode> of the measurement instrument has to
be selected. Then the instrument can be connected to SpectraView
Profiler 5 with a clock on the <Connect>-button. Follow the instructions
to calibrate the instrument (if necessary). At last the <Monitor type> has
to be selected (if available).
When all selections are done the window can be closed with a click on
<Ok>.
At every next start the SpectraView Profiler shows the last selected/
connected measurement instrument as preselection.
