I did not actually try to do a calibration to 6500K based on a 9300K hardware setting. I just did this to verify that the color temperature did not really changed in my system (soemthing that should be obvious with this large separation in color temperature). The reason why I did this was that when I put the hardware on 6500K and tried to calibrate to 6500K, it consistently stayed at 6900k or 7000K in the advanced analysis done right after the calibration, so I was wondering if the calibration was not done right or something else was going on.
Advanced Analysis, as it is currently defined, tests the hardware, not the calibration. With the exception of the 12, 24 or 48 patch accuracy test (which tests the calibrated accuracy) all other tests are hardware tests. Meaning, they are run without the video-card calibration or the profile in place (though any hardware adjustments you might make to a display would be included). So setting it to "X" with a hardware control on the display, then calibrating it to "Y" though video card adjustments with our software, then running the Advanced Analysis Suite will take you back to the "X" setting, not the "Y" adjustment on top of it. We hope to add another state to the Analysis tool to allow both raw and calibrated measurements in the future…
That should explain a couple of your results...
