Yes, but it's relative. Relative means that the values get normalized to the maximum/white. So any error in the absolute level is ignored. Example: Instrument A measures: 100.0 cd/m^2 at 100% 35.0 cd/m^2 at 50% that's a gamma of 1.514 [log(35/100)/log(.5)] Instrument B has an error of 10%: 110.0 cd/m^2 at 100% 38.5 cd/m^2 at 50% that's a gamma of 1.514 [log(38.5/110)/log(.5)] Graeme Gill.
