Here are the results... 1) spyd2en didn't find the CVSpyder.dll file in the setup.exe installer; I had to install the Spyder software (under wine) and manually find the file; it is located in: Program\ Files/PANTONE\ COLORVISION/ColorPlus/CVSpyder.dll 2) pointing to the file, spyd2en correctly generated spyd2PLD.bin 3) first time I used dispcal, it correctly downloaded the PLD pattern to the Spyder, but then failed to read the instrument: $ dispcal -v -D -y l-m Spyder Setting up the instrument spyd2: About to init coms spyd2: About to init USB icoms: About to set usb port characteristics icoms: About to open the USB port icoms: USB port needs opening icoms: About to open USB port 'usb:/bus0/dev2 (ColorVision Spyder2)' icoms: USB port is now open icoms: Clearing any USB errors icoms: usb port characteristics set ok spyd2: init coms has suceeded spyd2: About to init instrument spyd2: Instrument reset Reset complete, ICOM err 0x0 spyd2: Get Status Get Status returns 3 ICOM err 0x0 spyd2: Get Status Get Status returns 1 ICOM err 0x0 spyd2: about to read all the EEProm values spyd2: all EEProm read OK spyd2: about to download the PLD pattern spyd2: Get Status Get Status returns 0 ICOM err 0x0 spyd2: PLD pattern downloaded spyd2: Get Reading retry with ICOM err 0x2000 spyd2: Get Reading retry with ICOM err 0x2000 spyd2: Get Reading retry with ICOM err 0x2000 spyd2: Get Reading retry with ICOM err 0x2000 spyd2: Get Reading failed with ICOM err 0x2000 The instrument can be removed from the screen. icoms: delete called icoms: closing port usb_close_port() called usb port has been released and closed dispcal: Error - dispread failed with 'Instrument Access Failed' As I wanted to use a greater value for debug param, and found that now it works! I even tried to disconnect and connect it again, but it's still working... Ok, so I will now make a real calibration, and see if it 'correctly' works (there may have some differences between Spyder and Spyder2). I'll let you know what I find.
