Note that Gretag made a device called "Eye-One Monitor"
<http://www.argyllcms.com/doc/instruments.html#i1m>
which (as far as I'm aware, since I don't actually have one)
is incapable of reflective measurement. Certainly Argyll
won't attempt a reflective measurement with this instrument
since it is missing the reflective calibration data.
