    Hey Group,

    i have a problem and don’t know how to fix it. Maybe someone have a clue or a hint for me.

    I try to calibrate my DaVinci Resolve OS-X (10.11.4) System with DisplayCAL and my old MonacoOptixXR (DTP94). I installed the latest Version of DisplayCAL and calibrated my two GUI Monitors without any pain. When i try to create the 3D LUT for my external HDMI Display through Resolve it’s getting really weird. I got error Messages from the DTP like “Instrument Access Failed” while calibrating and if i retry i got “can’t initialize Instrument”. The DTP is working after a reconnecting the USB again.

    My first clue was: ok the DTP94 is dead or problems with the USB port. I try other ports, reboot but the problem is still there. But when i try to calibrate the GUI Monitors again, everything is fine.

    Here is my Log:

    Hi,

    I’ve heard some of the older instruments can be a bit finicky when it comes to USB timing. Is the system under load while the instrument failures happen?

    You may also try the attached Argyll 1.8.5 Beta files (make a backup copy of your “Argyll_V1.8.3” folder, then move the three files from the ZIP to the “bin” subfolder, overwriting existing copies).

    Hi Florian,

    thank you. I really appreciate you help.

    No, the system is runner at 20% load while the process is running and the failure occurs. I try the Argyll Beta and give a report.

    Hi Again… 😉

    the beta files are not executable. I think there are missing links.

    Please temporarily enable Argyll CMS diagnostic debug output in the “Options” menu and start a calibration. After it fails, open the log (menu “Tools”) and save it to a text file, then attach the latter. Thanks.

    Hey Florian,

    we can close the “case”. I borrowed a Spyder 4 from a friend today and it’s working fine. I think my old DTP94 is not trustworthy anymore. Thanks for your help!

    Best Regards
    Joe

    Alright, although if you’d be willing to do a few tests, we might figure out why the DTP94 isn’t working via Resolve (otherwise I’m curently looking into getting a DTP94 used, as I don’t own this instrument myself).

    Sure, let me know what you need.

    It’s a bit involved, so I’ll leave it up to you if you want to invest the time.

    Here’s what you could try:

    1. First, save the attached file to a folder of your choice, and rename it by removing the “.txt” file extension.
    2. Then, open Terminal.app and type cd /path/to/your/folder_of_choice
    3. Afterwards, type chmod +x waitpy
    4. Now start a calibration (with the DTP94 connected) using the following command line (all one line):
      /Users/Joe/Downloads/Argyll_V1.8.3/bin/dispcal -C '"/Applications/DisplayCAL/DisplayCAL.app/Contents/MacOS/python" ./wait' -v2 -d1 -c1 -yl -w0.3127,0.329 -b120.0 -b -m Test
    5. Put the instrument on the test patch window and confirm the dispcal prompt. The first RGB triplet that is going to be measured will be printed on the terminal.
    6. Open a second terminal window. Now begins the tedious part.
    7. Again, type cd /path/to/your/folder_of_choice
    8. Type echo "" > .ok
    9. Each time a new RGB triplet is ready to be measured (dispcal will print the RGB values first, so you’ll know when it is waiting), repeat step 8. You can try varying the time between the RGB triplets being printed and executing the above command.

    Basically, this is a bit of a shot in the dark to see if/how it fails in a more simple scenario – it would also be interesting to know if the above procedure fails with and/or without Resolve running (although there will be no connection or any direct interaction with it).

    Hey Florian,

    i think there is something wrong. Dispcal is not waiting for the command from the second terminal instance. And in the main windows i got
