Preferences dialog
The Preferences dialog is accessed from the Edit menu on Windows and Linux, and on the SpectraView II application
menu on macOS. The selections are divided into 5 different tabs.
The default settings for the entire Preferences can be restored by clicking the Defaults button.
Preferences dialog - Calibration Sensor tab
Sensor Type - selects the model of calibration sensor to use, and shows the current model being used.
Auto-Detect - attempts to detect the selected model of calibration sensor. SpectraView will automatically detect the
calibration sensor when the application is started, however if the sensor was not connected at that time, or if it was being
used by another application, then it may be necessary to re-detect it.
Note:
If the sensor was not attached when SpectraView was launched, then it may be necessary to exit the SpectraView
application and launch it again.
COM port - selects the port used to communicate with the sensor (Photo Research Spectroradiometers only).
Model and Serial # - shows the model and serial number of the currently selected calibration sensor device.
Average low light measurements - will average several color sensor measurements to improve the accuracy of low
luminance measurements (below 10 cd/m²). Selecting this option will increase the monitor calibration time.
