I guess I'm still suspicious that you might be looking at the wrong column.=

When the spot window first comes up, the Reference column is selected.
So the first click on the device fills in the Reference column, but immedia=
tely
after the Sample column is selected but no values have been filled in.
So it's in a state where the right column named Sample is selected but the
values you should be looking at are on the left under Reference.
After this you can continue measuring by clicking the device and the values=

will all be under Sample.
