KcsProfile

Derive a new KcsProfile class for characterization and calibration, additional functionality, or new transformation derivatives. Usually, this involves overriding one of the update methods to actually produce a new KcsXform derivative. Once the transformation is saved to the static store, the runtime load mechanism automatically handles it from then on, as long as the CMM is installed on the loading system. Since you can supply profiles directly that contain new KcsXform derivatives, the only derivative necessary to supply is the one derived from the KcsXform class. However, if the profile used to contain these new KcsXform derivatives is the KcsProfile derivative, it overwrites the new KcsXform type with one of its own when calibrated.

See Chapter 5, KcsProfile Derivative for information on creating a KcsProfile class derivative.
