So, does this problem (behavior) seem to come from Argyll ?
The offset is calculated by Argyll, and applied by it. The check for a (imo) reasonable threshold (15) is done in DisplayCAL, because (some) people kept ignoring the self-calibration message, leaving the instrument on screen, which then lead to totally bogus measurements 🙁
As this offset is meant to counteract black level drift (rise) of the SpyderX, I was very surprised to see negative numbers there. I am unsure if this is a problem though – need to ask Graeme about it (by the way, if you want to do that, go ahead – I’m very short on time lately).
And hey! Other poster with this problem… post a log so we can see what’s in there!
Yes please. For this to be useful, it is actually necessary to enable Argyll diagnostic output, like you did.

Having the same issue here. Solved by unchecking the “Skip the legacy serial ports” in advanced option menu.

Failed after next try. It’s nothing related to the skip legacy serial port.
Looks like Nathan’s suggestion is correct. Problem solved after warming the spyder x with a electric blanket. 😉
I’m having the same issue. Sometimes it works, sometimes it fails with a complaint about the cap not being on (though it is – I even tried wrapping the whole thing in black felt). From what I can tell its running that part of the calibration successfully but then not updating the UI in time and aborting. Note – I didn’t abort anything – the program aborted with the error.
