•When manually characterizing, you can create and save characterization templates containing set patches and then load these templates as needed.

•You can also load a .chr file into the Assistant, if you want to confirm measurements on a set of patches, or to view data from a previous characterization.

•If you stop the characterization process before reading all of the color patches, save your work by going to File > Save Interim Characterization File. When you restart your work, load this file by going to File > Load Interim Characterization File.
