Two questions on setting Preferences (Spyder3 Elite)

2009-01-10 by Rebel PPC

Okay, I guess I have had my Spyder3 Elite long enough for a few questions to start popping up. I would like to start with two of the tabs under the Preferences screen.
Running version 3.0.7 of the software:
Under the “Certification” Tab:
Check Certification is set to 1 hour
Confirm “CheckCal” is set to 2 weeks
Confirm “FullCal” is set to 1 month
Under the Recalibration” Tab:
Check “ReCal” is set to 1 hour
Notify if monitor has not been recalibrated (ReCal) within the last: and is set to 1 month
I guess I am confused by these two tabs as it looks as if some of the two are redundant.
What I want to do is:
Do a full calibration once a month and check that calibration every two weeks. I only want to be notified if it is time for or I have miss a bi-weekly Calibration Check and a Monthly Full Calibration.
I am not really sure what certification means unless it is to certify that the last full calibration is still valid via a checking of the calibration.
Any help or clarification would be appreciated.

Regards,
