HI,

maybe these illustrations are helpful.

Hi,

How meaningful would it be to measure colors in emissive mode knowing
that measurment ist right and afterwards doing the same measurements
in emissive mode but with the diffusive reflective material in between to
calculate a correction?

it doesn't make a whole lot of sense unless you know the directional pattern
of the light source and have a known, fixed geometric relationship between
that light source and the instrument.

Emissive mode measures light coming from one direction (i.e. Luminance).
Ambient mode measures light with a cosine weighting for direction (i.e.
Illuminance).

So a particular calibration factor depends critically on the directional
characteristics of the light source and the relative location of the
instrument, so an emissive type measurement can substitute for an ambient
measurement only in very restricted circumstances.

Cheers,
