Abstract:
1. A profiling device comprising: a color measurement unit for producing digital color measurement values corresponding to measurement light impinging thereon, a processor for control of the color measurement unit and for processing of the digital color measurement values produced thereby, and a bi-directional interface controlled by the processor for exchange of data and control commands with an external device connected to the profiling device, wherein the processor, the color measurement unit and the bi-directional interface are combined into an independent unit, and wherein the processor incorporates a profile generation program to be started by a starting command supplied from the external device through the bi-directional interface, said profile generation program being adapted to calculate a device profile on the basis of the digital color measurement values produced by the color measurement unit and to make the digital color management values available through the bi-directional interface for acceptance by the external device.
