Hi all,
I noticed some weird differences between an eye-one Pro rev. A and my
rather new rev. D: the reflectance measurements in last few bands
(approx 743 ... 750nm) are significantly lower with the rev. D than with
the rev. A. Furthermore the results for this bands seem to be more
temperature-sensitive.
I have few possibilities of comparison, but there is some evidence that
the rev. A results at the red end are more reliable than those of the
rev. D (e.g. polystyrene spectra measured with the rev. A end in a
vertical line with, but drop down when measured with the rev. D).
Here some files:

500-patch-target, strip lenght: 25 patches, laserprint on FWA-free
paper, measured with eye-one Pro Rev A in high spectral resolution mode
<http://digitalproof.info/argyll/eye-one_IR_calibration/CGIV10testPureH_RevD.ti3>:
same print, measured with rev. D

reflectances rev D divided by reflectances rev A, mean and median of all
patches ploted against wavelength.

reflectances rev D divided by reflectances rev A, mean of 3 bands,
(443...450 and 743...750nm) ploted against patch index.
Even though in general the repeatability the rev. D seems to be much
better than the rev. A, there seems to be an issue in terms of IR
calibration.
The (differences in) thermal drift of the instruments obviously affects
mainly the measurement results at the red end of the spectrum.
At first sight it's unclear which of both instruments is stronger
affected by thermal drift (I dare say the radiation maximum of the lamp
is still above the relevant wavelengths at the end of the reading, but I
have no idea which compensation mechanism might affect the result).
I guess the issue has practically no influence on the Lab values as the
spectral sensitivity of the standard observer is close to zero in this
region, but I need reliable data also in this region. Any ideas how to
improve the IR results of my Rev D?
Thank you!
Klaus
