Hi Graeme,
here is the spotread output for a totally dark screen (a tiny command prompt 
window was there).
Thanks!

Uh-Oh....I'm back to square one.
 
The tech support of X-rite told me to use the CRT mode on a real CRT monitor 
and run diagnostics again. (I was running the CRT mode diagnostics on a LCD 
monitor).
Now the diagnostics say everything is fine with my probe.
 
So back to Argyll troubleshooting......
 
Graeme, I will run the spotread tonight and send you the output.

Rajiv Mehra

It shouldn't do this. I can put my i1display 2 completely in the dark,
and it returns a reasonable reading. Are you sure that you have installed
the correct (ie., supplied with Argyll) usb driver ?
The default libusb-win32 driver has a timeout that is too short
for the i1display when reading dark readings, and this could cause a failure.

Perhaps you should send me the output of spotread -D2 for such a failure.

The calibration and profiling software isn't sensitive to the absolute
light levels, it is the instrument that is the issue. Some instruments
are not very accurate at low light levels, and can also take some time
to return values.
