Xrite has been less than helpful since they bought Gretag, and even worse
since they were bought by the current owner. It's all about the bottom
line, and helping people with old devices doesn't sell new stuff, even
though when I started with DTP22 back some 15+ years ago, that did foster
an opinion of the company. They helped a lot with that old device. I then
bought a Pulse and then Profiler platinum because of their previous and
continued support. Then it all went away after they bought Gretag and now
it is even more limited. This factor is what drove me to start learning
Argyll, I knew I'd never be an important customer to Xrite again, no matter
what level of product I bought from them. Hope they read this message. And
sorry for the somewhat off topic response.

The reason, Graeme, has to be “commercial”, IMO.
Otherwise, people would have no reason to upgrade to an M1 device.

combining M1 with UV?
I was informed by X-rite it is due to a hardware limitation with the iSis
REV E (last of the gen. 1 devices). Perhaps the power or the spectral
emission of the UV LED isn't what is required to compute M1? They wouldn't
tell me specifically.

That would make sense for the Isis2, but the original ISIS only hadM0/M2, and the thing
that gave me pause is that i1profiler will only allow an M0 measurementin a “double scan”
mode, which takes twice as long, whereas it will do M2 as a single scan.
The double scan is because it makes a separate UV pass before combining the
two passes. In M2 it simply turns the UV LED off.
There's no technical reason why the iSis 1 couldn't compute M1 - I'm not
sure
why X-rite would choose not to do so, since it just involves a different
weighting of the UV and non-UV measurement passes.
