To use ChromaChecker™ Instrument Inspector  with the Xrite® IntelliTrax®, you must go through some simple setup procedures before you can measure the ChromaChecker™ ITX-42 Target:

Here is the step by step instructions:

Setup the IntelliTrax®

---

  Launch X-Rite® IntelliTrax® software, and click on Editor.

---

  Click on Color Bar

  Then, click on the Post Scan tab and check on Create Scan Value File (SVF). If this check box is already selected, another application may be set up to automatically grab this file when created. Please choose a temporary directory for the chromachecker file following the steps below, and then after the target is captured, go back into this menu and reconfigure back to the original directory.

---

  Next, click on the browse button and create a folder in the IntelliTrax® folder similar to the directory location and name listed in the example screen shot. (you can always create a shortcut on your desktop to this folder for quick and easy access)

---

  Finally, click on close to exit Local Machine Configuration and this will return you to the main window of IntelliTrax®.

---

  To scan the ChromaChecker card, you need to set up the ChromaChecker as a normal production press run in Press Tool of the IntelliTrax software. Click on Press Tool.

 

---

   Select the new Project Template you created called: ChromaChecker.

 

  Create a Project Name called ChromaChecker and hit Enter.
