Hi Graeme,

I just don't get that behavior unfortunately.


Here's an exact transcript of what happens:


robin1:robin geoff$ /mnt/pooh/Mac/usr/local/Argyll_V1.3.3/bin/dispcal -v -g

Setting up the instrument
Place instrument on test window.
Hit Esc or Q to give up, any other key to continue:
Display type is LCD
Target white = native white point
Target white brightness = native brightness
Target black brightness = native brightness
Target advertised gamma = 1.000000

Display adjustment menu:
Press 1 .. 7
1) Black level (CRT: Offset/Brightness)
2) White point (Color temperature, R,G,B, Gain/Contrast)
3) White level (CRT: Gain/Contrast, LCD: Brightness/Backlight)
4) Black point (R,G,B, Offset/Brightness)
5) Check all
6) Measure and set ambient for viewing condition adjustment
7) Continue on to calibration
8) Exit
Commencing device calibration
