User Manual

After the selecetion of a calibration preset the look of the workflow-icon
won’t change. But the name under the workflow-icon will change to the
name of the selected calibration preset.

The calibration settings which are represented by workflow-icon can be
seen in the middle of the main window of SpectraView Profiler 5.
If the custom workflow-icon will be used to create a calibration and
profile for the display these new settings will be used then.
