Usual Setting

Preferences will usually be left at their default settings.

 

The Purpose of This Step

Preferences allow users to choose program options and select the measurement 
instrument to use.

 

The Long Answer

The following items may be adjusted in Preferences:

Sensor

Select <none> or Spyder3. When troubleshooting sensor USB connection a good 
practice is:

•

             

Select <none>

•

             

Unplug the Spyder

•

             

Plug the Spyder back in

•

             

Select Spyder3

When the sensor is found, the SN and Version fields in “Sensor Information” will be 
filled in.

Port

There is no need to make any selection to this menu. When Spyder3 is selected this 
menu will change to “USB”. 

Recalibration Warning

You can indicate whether you want the Spyder Utility to remind you to re-calibrate the 
display after a period of time. You can also disable the reminder by selecting “Never”. 

Show Spyder3 status in menu bar

This controls whether or not the Spyder Utility will display a menu for easy access. On 
Macintosh this will appear on the right side of the menu bar. On Windows this will
