Specbos 1201 issue, what am I doing wrong?

[Pete Naples]

Hi, newbie to displaycal here.

I’m a cinema projection engineer to trade, regularly use my Specbos 1201 to calibrate cinema projectors.

I’ve a 2 a Samsung SyncMaster setup I want to calibrate on my desktop PC, they don’t match well.

So I’ve got Displaycal installed, as far as I can tell it detects the Sepcbos but the ‘Calibrate & profile’ button is greyed out. Here’s a screenshot.

Any and all suggestions welcomed!

Jeti Limes, the software supplied with the Specboz can see and work with it fine on this PC, I’ve tried un installing Jeti Limes. Also I had to install the FTDi driver to get the Specbos to be seen in Windows 7. It doesn’t appear as a device in device manager, just a USB serial port.

Hi,

go to the “Profiling” tab and make sure testchart is set to “Auto”.

Thanks Florian, that resolved the first issue, I must have inadvertently changed that setting.

Now I have another problem. Yet in the first screen it can see the Specbos no problem.

Is something else accessing the instrument by any chance?

[Pete Naples]

No, the only other software on the machine was Jeti Limes, which I have un installed and rebooted since.

For the purpose of completeness, I finally got this to work.

It’s down to a firmware issue on the Specbos 1201. I contacted Jeti who gave me updated firmware. It then works with Argyll.
