In This Chapter

Chapter 1 introduced the major software components involved in calibration. This chapter describes calibration from the end-user perspective. The end user starts calibration and provides the necessary parameters (such as the device type, what module to load, and various other options for performing the calibration).

This chapter describes two "loadable" source modules provided with the SDK that work with Calibrator Tool to gather measurement data: colorsense() and XSolarisVisualGamma(). To use the colorsense() module, the end user must purchase the colorsense() colorimeter device. XSolarisVisualGamma() presents the same GUI but does not require a colorimeter device.

The calibration process this chapter describes is how the sample loadable module works with Calibrator Tool. This method of obtaining measurement data may or may not apply to the design of your loadable module.

The chapter is meant to provide you with a better understanding of the sample loadable module. To accomplish this, it refers back and forth between the end user actions and those performed by the underlying software.
