I can look into this for you - can you send your measurements file or files to look at?

Use the File:Open Data command in SpyderPRINT to open the folder that contains your
measurement files; they're all small text files with .xml extensions.

Find one that you've created and attach it to an email to me at: mailto:dmiller%40datacolor.com
and I'll get back to you directly on it.
