I am looking at purchasing a Spyder (5 Pro) to be used on Linux.
However, the DisplayCal Instrument specific requirements note “If your measurement device is a i1 Display 2, i1 Display Pro, ColorMunki Display, DTP94, Spyder 2/3/4/5, you’ll want to import the colorimeter corrections that are part of the vendor software packages, which can be used to better match the instrument to a particular type of display. Note: The full range of measurement modes for the Spyder 4/5 are also only available if they are imported from the Spyder 4/5 software“.
As far as I can tell, Datacolor do not appear to provide linux software. Without a Windows or Mac installation, is it possible to import the colorimeter corrections into DisplayCal, or should I look for different hardware?
-Thanks

the corrections can be imported under any system (just click “auto” in the import dialog).
Thanks. I understand Displaycal can import, but from where? …if the windows s/w (datacolor) is not installed?
Is the needed file created as part of spyder’s install? or is it a file on a CD? hopefully not buried inside an exe!
“Auto” downloads the corrections to import from https://displaycal.net.
