* It does matter! * Pitch black not necessary * Ambient light a problem, depending on rate of glare hitting instrument * Should always be calibrated ( on boot up ) in a dark room * There is standard apostlibs ( 31.5 ) required for testing. That is, if you want to have it standardized and compare apples to apples. Which IS the point- to compare change over time... * If window, have a drapery company, shade company, put in black out shades...this is sufficient...
