Managing Measurement Devices When Creating Multiple PMMs Simultaneously

Managing Measurement Devices When Creating Multiple PMMs Simultaneously

Overview: PrintFactory Calibrator allows for the simultaneous creation of multiple profiles (PMMs). However, it's crucial to be aware of the limitations regarding changing measurement devices and settings during these sessions.

Device Limitation: When creating multiple PMMs simultaneously, it is essential that the measurement device and its settings remain consistent throughout the session. For example:

Transmissive vs. Reflective Measurements: PMMs that require different types of measurements, such as transmissive vs. reflective, should not be created in the same set of sessions. Attempting to switch measurement devices within a session can lead to instability in Calibrator.

Potential Risks: Switching measurement devices during a session may cause incorrect profile measurements in other sessions, potentially ruining the PMMs. This can result in inaccuracies and inconsistencies in your final profiles.

Recommendation: For optimal performance and accuracy, keep PMMs that require different types of measurements and filter settings separate. Complete one type of measurement session before starting another to ensure that your profiles are correctly measured and maintained.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can ensure that your PMMs are created accurately and without issues.
