STUCK at "setting up the instrument"

[Lukasz Kalinowski]

Hello There! First of all thanks to the developer for such opportunity to calibrate external monitors. For last 15h i was trying to calibrate using this tool and almost every things goes like in all tutorials and instruction that i found here on forum and error/support page. i’m using displaycal for creating 3d LUT for my  resolve setup with Blackmagic deckling monitor.

I’m going thru all paragraph to set up this with resolve , like

• video 3d lut for resolve (d65, rec 709 / rec. 1886)
• display : resolve
• than i’m click connect to instrument
• correction: auto
• calibration – interactive display adjustment checked ( all values below i’m leaving like default
• profiling: meddium / high / low (many attempts with different combinations)
• testchart: auto-optimised
• about of patches (different values at all attempts)
• 3D LUT : rec 709, ITHU-R BT.709
• tone curve :rec. 1886
• rendering intent: absolute colorimetric….
• 3d lut file format : cube
• input 0-255 output 0-255
• 3d out size 65-65-65
• verifications: many options from spyder checker to test chart

THAN I’m connecting with RESOLVE and “interactive display adjustment window pop up after this i see only :

SETTING UP THE INSTRUMENT, please wait

and “start measurement and continue on to profiling ” buttons are grayed out

and here my story ends al the time and i can’t make any more step after this , its “setting up instrument for hours and nothing happened , resolve of course generate the grey square and this  is it end of story.

i have tryied difrent usb 3.0 / 2.0

i have make calibration with spyder 5 vendor software and works ok

please help i just don’t knot what to do to resolve this issue.thanks in advance!

Luke

Hi,

there should be a dialog “Please attach the instrument to the screen” that you must confirm.

[Lukasz Kalinowski]

Hey Florian Thanks for answer, there is nothing like you describe , when i’m clinging “connect to instrument” icon some dialog box appeared and load something and disappear. instrument is connected to usb 2.0/3.0 all the time i made calibration using vendor software and after that directly made displayCAL try and still the same results , i have tried this using Resolve LITE and STUDIO.
The same story.

I was even trying make standard monitor calibration for mac and same story. after “setting up instruments” nothing ever happened i was waiting for almost an hour and was the same, but program did not “stuck” it was working because all dialog boxes “rub , etc” was clickable.

Any solution ?
maybe can You send me older version ? i got Yosemite 10.10.5

thanks for help!

The process is always the same:

1. Start DisplayCAL and Resolve.
2. Select the “Video 3D LUT for Resolve” preset under settings in DisplayCAL.
3. Click “Calibrate & profile”.
4. A dialog box “Waiting for connection at IP:PORT” will appear.
5. In Resolve, on the “Color” tab, choose “Calibration” -> “SpectraCAL CalMAN” from the “Workspace” menu.
6. Enter IP and port from above, then click “Connect”.
7. DisplayCAL will show the measurement window. Click “Start measurement”.
8. DisplayCAL will show the interactive display adjustment window. A dialog box will appear “Place the instrument on the test window”. Do so and click OK.

If it doesn’t work, please attach logfiles (see the documentation).
