I'm a little puzzled.

In PrintFIX PRO 1.1.1, or any previous version (we -are- talking about the
same software, correct? I don't know what PSP is, do you mean PFP?)...

There is no "average profiles" command or control on the page that lets
you build profiles. (The one with the sliders).

There is an Average command in its Tools menu, but that's a separate process
from profile building. That command simply lets you take two measurement
profiles and average them to create a 3rd file of averaged measurements; it
doesn't do anything with profiles themselves at all.

The Tools:Average command also assumes that you have -measurement- files
available to average. If you're running PFP in "PRO" mode, these would
be measurement files in the Data:PRO folder. If you're running PFP in
"PLUS" mode (no spectro, PLUS serial #), these would be any of the existing
measurement files in the Data:PLUS folder.

To repeat: you can't average profiles; only measurement files.

If you're running as PLUS, the Tools:Average command should show a long list
of measurement files in both of the "to-average" popups (these are all of
pre-supplied files).

If you're running as PRO, with a spectro, there aren't any measurement to
average until you've printed targets, measured, and saved some measurement
files.
