What I mean is that those two measurements, made in menu points 2) and 5),
never seem to converge. The measurements are only few seconds apart.
What lead to my question was simple flow of events (used -N switch):
* I executed dispcal and launched menu point 2)
* I set monitor G channel two steps lower to adjust native WP
* I launched menu point 5) to check and found that DE 2K is off by 0.7 units
* I launched menu point 2) again and confirmed that DE 2K is indeed still 0.1
* I launched menu point 5) and confirmed that DE 2K check here is still off
  0.7 units, showing 0.8

Hope this makes sense. My assumption was that two WP measurements made few
seconds apart would show same DE 2K numbers. I could be wrong, nothing wrong
with that :) It has been long time since I last used interactive adjustment.
