Re: [colorvision_group] How often does the Utility need to load the VIdeo Card LUT?

2008-12-14 by CDTobie


I notice that my monitor shows a little "blip" every minute. I assume 
that is because the Spyder3 v 3.06 Utility preference has a 
setting "Load Video Card Lookup Table Every: it is set to 1 minute. I 
assume that is that is the default setting. Is it necessary to load the 
LUT that often. The screen "disturbance" I see is a bit disconcerting. 
I suppose I will get accustomed to it, now that I know (or think I 
know) what is causing it.

This indicates, not just that Spyder3Utility is checking the LUT, but if it blips every minute, it would also imply that your LUT is not probably correct, or you would not be seeing the blip. So, as well as adjusting the timing, look into what might be conflicting with the Datacolor LUT loading...

I asked tech support the following question but did not receive an 
answer.

Is Cerification necessary with the new verson 3.06 Utility? Under the 
Certification preference tab, the certification is checking every hour. 
I believe Certification checks to make sure the LUT is being loaded. 
Since the LUT is being reloaded every minute, does Certification just 
verify that it is being loaded? I added Certificaton when I calibrated 
so I would know that the LUT was loaded - did not know how to verify 
that with version 3.04. on Vista 64

Is their a document describing the preference settings in the Utility?
