fiFD-S2w

1. Open FD-S2w, then click Open Chart File

2. Select cxf File (*.cxf) as file format and select the chart you haveexported previously from i1Profiler

3. The chart has been successfully imported into FD-S2w

4. The page format needs to be modified manually. Please do right click thetemplate and select Edit Chart

5. A new windows opens called Create Chart

42 Columns

49 Rows

6. You need to modify the page size based on the real size of the chart
Please apply the following calculation
for WIDTH:‣ Total Column x Patch Size
‣ ( 41 + 1 ) x 6mm = 252 mm‣ Then please add 10mm
‣ 252mm + 10mm = 262 mm
Please enter 262mm in WIDTH
i1 Profiler always creates a second
measurement area when blankpatches are generated, make sure tocount the additional column in yourcalculation

7. Enter the value found for WIDTH: 262mm in our example. You’ll see thewhite space is reduced to the real width of the chart

8. Please apply the following calculation for HEIGHTDo the following for HEIGHT:‣ Total Row x Patch Size
‣ 49 x 6mm = 294 mm‣ Then please add 10mm
‣ 294mm + 10mm = 304 mm
Please enter 304mm in HEIGHT

9. Enter the value found for HEIGHT: 304mm in our example. You’ll see thewhite space is reduced to the real height of the chart

10. Click Save. You can now continue the procedure and insert the chart

2. FD-9 is now detecting the patches by comparing the scanned image with thereference data contained in the .xml file

3. After the measurement is successfully done, activate the Spectral Data box, andselect the measurement condition (M1, M0, M2, etc) you want to export

4. Then right click the measurement and clic Save
