Select the measurement mode in the device setting 

 

(chapter 3.2.3.3):

 

iCPlate2 measurement mode

 

The iCPlate2 measures according to the X-Rite iCPlate2 (or iCPlate II) 

 

standard. The iCPlate2 measures compatible to all other iCPlate2 (or 

 

iCPlate II) devices. In this mode the iCPlate2 uses the specially 

 

developed plate measurement algorithm, where the dots can be 

 

accurately detected.

 

FOGRA Measuring Bar FMB measurement mode

 

The iCPlate2 measures according to the FOGRA Measuring Bar 

 

FMB standard. This reference for check-up measurements is the 

 

offset sample plate 

Fogra Measuring Bar FMB

 from the German 

 

research institute Forschungsgesellschaft Druck, fogra e.V., München. 

 

Fogra Measuring Bar FMB can be ordered over the internet at
