Ken,

Your LINEARIZE command numbers look like density values? When I generated the LINEARIZE command from the density/lab values .txt files measured with the Spyder 3, and with the iOne, and dropped those files on the QTR-LINEARIAE-DATA program, this is what I got.

Spyder 3
LINEARIZE="93.73 91.66 89 85.55 81.55 77.84 73.61 71.1 66.49 62.4 58.86 57.79 52.2 50.54 42.52 37.76 33.49 29.14 27.1 23 18.95"

iOne
LINEARIZE="94.32 92.11 89.22 85.85 82.05 78.14 74.01 69.7 65.86 62.14 58.29 54.11 50.01 45.69 41.88 37.72 33.67 29.37 25.74 22.08 17.71"

The LINEARIZE is added to the QTR .txt profile, then you run Install, which generates a curve for the .quad file. In a MAC you can record this from the Linux terminal program, as for example.

LINEARIZE = "95.18 92.88 89.91 86.33 82.4 78.64 74.61 70.28 66.42 62.83 59 54.7 50.51 46.11 42.38 38.15 33.96 29.7 26.07 22.3 17.81"
LINEARIZE_CURVE = 0,0 2.97,5 6.81,10 11.44,15 16.52,20 21.38,25 26.59,30 32.18,35 37.17,40 41.81,45 46.76,50 52.32,55 57.74,60 63.42,65 68.24,70 73.71,75 79.13,80 84.63,85 89.32,90 94.2,95 100,100
