The Setup screen is used to calibrate and connect to your device.
The Calibrate button initiates the calibration sequence for the DTP-45. Calibration is not required to begin reading values; however, the accuracy of these measurements can be greatly affected by a miscalibrated device. To proceed to the next step after calibrating, click on the Next button.
The Process Test Strips screen begins the strip reading process. To begin reading a strip, click on the button associated with the color you wish to read. Then follow the instructions presented in the message box directly below the Read Black Strip button. This interface is "hard-wired" to except the 17 data points used in the 'dtp41.ps' file located in your 'X:\PSFiles' folder (X: being the letter of the drive on which Wasatch SoftRIP was installed). This is the only test pattern that will give you a correct result.
After the densitometer has returned the strip values, the Done will appear next to the color that you selected. After any one strip has been read, the Next button will change to Finish. You may select Finish after reading any number of strips; the system will only apply curves from colors you have measured. Colors that you did not measure will not be overwritten should curves already exist.
