Ambient Light Measurement window
The Ambient Light Measurement tool allows measurements to be taken of the ambient light of the viewing environment
around the display monitor. This feature is only available when using a supported color sensor.
Currently supported color sensors are:
X-Rite/GretagMacbeth Eye-One Display V2
X-Rite/GretagMacbeth Eye-One Pro
X-Rite iOne Pro2
X-Rite iOneDisplay Pro / NEC SpectraSensor Pro / NEC MDSVSENSOR3
X-Rite ColorMunki
Datacolor Spyder3 and Spyder4
BasICColor Discus
These measurements are useful in determining the optimal viewing conditions for the area surrounding the display
monitor. Ideally the ambient light level and color temperature should not inuence the viewing of images on the display
screen.
Follow the instructions on-screen for conguring the color sensor for Ambient Light measurement mode. Measurements
are taken every few seconds and updated on the display as both a Luminance value and approximate color temperature
value.
Note: The Datacolor Spyder3 and Spyder4 ambient light sensor measures luminance only and not color temperature.
