VX-2ix Color Gamut Adjustment

A.1

Required Hardware

and Software

To perform these adjustments, you need the following:

•Laptop or desktop PC with a DB-9 serial port.

•A straight-through (not null-modem) serial cable (DB-9 female to DB-9 male).

•A DB-9 female-to-3.5mm phono plug adapter.

•Terminal emulation software – HyperTerminal or equivalent.

•Color analyzer – Sencore ColorPro 5000 software and ColorPro III sensor, or equivalent.

Most computer-based color analyzers – like the Sencore product used Note here as an example – also require a serial connection for the color

sensor. In order to use them for this procedure, your PC must have either two available RS-232 COM ports, or one COM port and one Universal Serial Bus (USB) port.

If you are using a stand-alone color analyzer, this is not an issue.
