1. Top menu / tool management
Instruments
This tab is intended to manage your instrument list.
Clicking on the Instrument you can edit it, delete it or enter measurement data / baselines.
Each registered instruments has its directory to store measured data. Specific technical requirements are covered thanks to dedicated import filters. In some cases, data have to be reordered, or some scanned patches has to be ignored, as they are out of the list of core 42. Therefore, it is not possible to upload data correctly when the wrong type of instrument is selected.
For each additional instrument, a new subscription is required.

Partners
This is an unique capability of Chromachecker that makes it possible to share instrument data between different users to compare the accuracy to your tolerance. Users can freely exchange data between each other with each other's permission. For this option, one user invites the other, and when permission is granted, the data can be shared. This works in one direction.
