A belated update, as Freelists was down here a few days ago... Graeme's
most recent Spotread fix is now working fine for me with the Spectroscan
T in transmissive mode.
I have made several hundred good transmissive readings. Spotread can be a
bit fragile, that is it bombed and locked-up the Dos box if I hit enter
before the data just read was written to the screen. Since this was due
to my impatience, I can accept some responsibility. Perhaps it is a
Serial com handshaking issue, as I am running with 'no handshaking' .This
is a HARD bomb, as I can't close/terminate/stop/shutdown the Dos box,
nothing worked short of a reboot. After that bomb sometimes I had to
delete the Prolific USB -> Serial registry entry to get that port
working again... such is Windows. Even with this Argyll lock-up, the data
measured prior to the lock-up is saved to the data file.
So, Argyll is now measuring the transmissive data I need. Hats off to
Graeme for writing code for this spectrophotometer that he doesn't
own!

Hi, thanks for the debug output. I'm not sure why I didn't notice this particular problem. See how you go with < http://www.argyllcms.com/win32_spotread_exe.zip> size 365787 bytes. Graeme Gill.
