Re: Using the Pulse Reader Utility

2007-08-02 by munn_photo

Thanks for the reply. I hooked up my pulse and the utility opened 
for me but I was unable to use the commands that you indicated in 
the read me file to switch to strip mode instead of spot reading. 
You indicate that there is a firmware upgrade on the Xrite site 
which allows you to swith to strip mode but I was unable to locate 
this on the site. There is no such download for the DPT20. 

I did however download the ColorPort utility which allowed me to 
generate the TID and 21 gray step wedge to print out and then scan 
with my pulse. I am still just trying to understand the process of 
callibration and creating a custom curve to use with QTR. I still 
have a bit of a learning curve to go through to understand the 
complete process. I am not totally clear on all the specific steps. 
Hopefully after reading several post and the different documentation 
and guides I'm hoping it will all make more sense to me.

Thanks again for all your help.
