I’m now performing my very first calibration run. During calibration there are multiple unexplained sounds. It begins with a lot of camera shutter sounds, but then it starts making cricket chirp noises, and no more camera shutter sounds. After this occurs, it does not always show a color patch per chirp, or I can’t percieve it with the naked eye (looks black) and there is a considerable amount of time between chirps. OOH just now I got another shutter sound effect…
“Measurements taken = 58. Computing update to calibration curves. Iteration 2/2 with 32 sample points and repeat threshold of 0.900000 DE. Patch 31 of 32.” Just now as I write this I finally saw a green patch for a second but now it’s black again. It seems to be thinking a lot, and not scanning color patches very often. But I don’t know. What do the sounds mean? Is it supposed to appear much slower after the beginning of the calibration? It just chirped again but nothing changed on the screen.
I’m on a 3ghz Core 2 Duo, 4gb RAM, cheap old Nvidia card, Win7 x64. I just realized the Spyder Utility is still active in my system tray during all this. Is that bad?
Thanks Much in advance <3 OOH now it did a different beep noise, says Hardware version 0x0a0f patch 6 of 34, then spent a lot of time thinking again and just started snapping more with shutter sound (11 of 34 now. Yay)
I suppose it just needs a lot of time to think in between scans sometimes? Still, curious what the different sounds represent. Whoa COOL ! a ring of fire and wooshing rocket sound! Stylish 🙂 I didn’t catch what it said but now it’s doing 391 more patches. Interesting… I suppose that’s enough with the play-by-play. Thanks in advance 🙂
It completed the profile about 10 mins ago. 🙂 Looks good as far as I can tell! How can I compare it to the profile the Spyder 5 did? Or is it overwritten?
You can turn the sounds off by clicking the speaker button on the progress dialog.

I would close it, I’m not sure what it does outside of the calibration reminder, but it might interfere with the measurements.

If you want to get a report on the profile accuracy, you can do that on the “Verification” tab by assigning the Spyder software profile to the display (i.e. right-click profile loader icon in tray, choose “Profile associations…”) and then selecting “<Current>” under settings in DisplayCAL.
