MEASURE(1)

✨ MEASURE(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the measure page, living in the User Commands section of the manual 💖 pull up a chair, we're reading spot values together and it's gonna be iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

Measure — Read Print Spot values. that's the whole vibe, that's the assignment 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Measure spot values, Version 1.6.3 ✨

like. it measures spots. it prints the values. it's giving instrument whisperer and honestly? obsessed. no cap, that's genuinely all it does and it does it beautifully 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

spotread [-options] [logfile]

👑 OPTIONS 👑

okay so here's the full lineup, every single one, don't skip, I'll know 🙈

• -v — verbose mode. it will talk to you about everything it's doing, main character energy fr fr.
• -s — print the spectrum for each reading 🕶️
• -S — plot the spectrum for each reading 📈 (yes bestie, we're plotting now)
• -c listno — set the communication port from the following list. the default is 1. the list, as it stands right now, is literally:
  • ** No ports found **

😭 not me and the empty port list.

• -t — use transmission measurement mode 🌈
• -e — use emissive measurement mode (absolute results) 🔥
• -eb — use display white brightness relative measurement mode 💡
• -ew — use display white point relative chromatically adjusted mode 🎨
• -p — use telephoto measurement mode (absolute results) 📸
• -pb — use projector white brightness relative measurement mode 🎥
• -pw — use projector white point relative chromatically adjusted mode 🎬
• -a — use ambient measurement mode (absolute results) 🌤️
• -f — use ambient flash measurement mode (absolute results) ⚡
• -I illum — set simulated instrument illumination using FWA (the default is -i illum). the options are: M0, M1, M2, A, C, D50, D50M2, D65, F5, F8, F10 or file.sp ✨
• -i illum — choose the illuminant for computation of CIE XYZ from spectral data & FWA: A, C, D50 (that's the default, bestie), D50M2, D65, F5, F8, F10 or file.sp 💜
• -Q observ — choose the CIE Observer for spectral data or CCSS instrument: 1931_2 (default), 1964_10, S&B 1955_2, shaw, J&V 1978_2. (and yeah, you choose FWA during operation 👀)
• -F filter — set the filter configuration (if applicable):
  • n — None
  • p — Polarising filter
  • 6 — D65
  • u — U.V. Cut
• -E extrafilterfile — apply an extra filter compensation file 🧚
• -x — display Yxy instead of Lab 🔄
• -h — display LCh instead of Lab 🔄
• -V — show the running average and standard deviation from the reference 📊
• -T — display correlated color temperatures and CRI 🌡️
• -N — disable auto calibration of the instrument. it will not calibrate itself. just so you know 👀
• -H — start in high resolution spectrum mode (if it's available) 🔍
• -X file.ccmx — apply a Colorimeter Correction Matrix 🧮
• -X file.ccss — use Colorimeter Calibration Spectral Samples for calibration 🧪
• -Y r|n — override refresh, non-refresh display mode 🔁
• -Y R:rate — override the measured refresh rate with rate Hz ⏱️
• -Y A — use non-adaptive integration time mode (if available) 🌀
• -W n|h|x — override serial port flow control: n = none, h = HW, x = Xon/Xoff 🔌
• -D [level] — print debug diagnostics to stderr 🐛
• logfile — optional file to save the reading results as text 📝 (she's organized, we love her)

💀 heads up bestie: -N disables auto calibration of the instrument, and -D sends debug diagnostics to stderr. also the -c port list is currently empty — ** No ports found ** — so no cap, check your ports before you come for her. don't be mad at me, that's just what the page says 🙈

and that's the whole page, you ate that 💅

cute little sign-off: this beauty came from spotread, dated September 2014, and it lives under the MEASURE(1) header. go forth and measure, queen 👑💖
