Preferences dialog - Calibration tab
Calibration and Profile Steps - selects the number of measurement steps to take when calibrating and profiling the
display. A larger number of steps will generally result in a more accurate grayscale calibration, but will increase the
calibration time. 32 steps is the recommended setting for most applications.
Recalibration Reminder Period - sets the interval after the display is calibrated until a calibration reminder message
is displayed. The default value is 2 weeks. Select Never if you do not want to be reminded to recalibrate the display.
Calibration Priority - selects the algorithm used to calculate the display's response curve. Options are:
• Maximize Contrast Ratio - will maximize the display's contrast ratio by making black as dark as possible at
the expense of grayscale color tracking near black.
• Best grayscale color tracking - will generate the best grayscale color tracking in the black areas, at the
expense of a slightly reduced contrast ratio. This option will not be used if a calibration Target with a Contrast
Ratio of other than Default is used.
Note:
This setting does not have any impact on the calibration for displays equipped with the SpectraView Engine (SVE) and will
be disabled if no relevant displays are connected. Refer to the "SpectraView Engine" column in the "Features by Model" tables
on page 58 and page 60 for the specific capabilities of each display model.
Extended luminance stabilization time - increases the waiting time for the display to stabilize while the luminance
is being adjusted. This option can be used if necessary to increase the accuracy of the luminance adjustment when a
Target with a Specific Level of Intensity is being used. It may significantly increase the calibration time, and is normally
only useful when a very low intensity value is used. Try selecting this option if the calibrated Intensity is significantly
