I can  use it to measure the colour 
patches, using the "Enter" or "Return" key on  the keyboard, but I 
should also be able to use the button on top of the  Spectro - but that 
doesn't seem to do anything.  Am I doing something  wrong, or is this a 
hardware fault?  


Make sure Windows recognizes your spectro when you plug it into the USB  
port. Sometimes the same thing happens to me, but I found that it is faster to  
use the Enter key than to press the top of the spectro. My system is to turn the 
 target upside down (I am right-handed) and pull the spectro in, rather than 
push  it out. This allows me to more quickly position the eye of the spectro 
over the  patches, and I tape down the corners of the target so that I don't 
need my left  hand to hold the paper. I then use my left index finger to tap the 
Enter key  as I pull the spectro to the next patch. I listen for the click 
sound that  tells me the patch is read, and once I get the cadence, I am able to 
zip through  a target sheet.
HTH.... YMMV.
