Your EyeOne Pro
Thank you for purchasing an X-rite EyeOne Pro spectrophotometer from SpectraCal.
This page explains the parts you will find in your EyeOne Pro kit.
Meter and Base Plate
Each EyeOne Pro is uniquely paired with
its own base plate. They should remain
together. At the tip of the base plate is a
white dot, of reference material
conforming to a standard. Your EyeOne
was calibrated at the factory to this white
dot, and should you ever need to run
EyeOne Pro diagnostics, they will expect
this same dot.
Ambient Filter
The small black box contains the ambient filter. Note that
there are actually two pieces inside the black box: the filter
and a cap. The filter is inside the cap. To put it on your
EyeOne Pro, snap the cap on the meter head, rotate slightly,
and pull directly off. The filter will remain on the meter. Use
the filter when reading directly from a projector. You can use
the cap to perform a dark calibration
USB Cable
The EyeOne Pro draws a substantial amount of power, which some USB hubs and USB
extension cables will not supply. Before trying to use a hub or an extension cord, first
plug your EyeOne Pro directly into your computer.
Suspension Strap and Tripod Holder
The suspension strap is for hanging an EyeOne Pro on a display. For most applications,
we recommend the tripod holder instead. (The tripod holder is an optional accessory,
sold separately). Slide the two prongs on the tripod holder into the two holes on the
bottom of the EyeOne Pro, and wrap the Velcro strap around the EyeOne to secure it.
Empty Spaces in Carrying Case
You will note that the carrying case has empty spaces. In addition to its leading role as
the preferred instrument for video display calibration, the EyeOne Pro is sold into many
other industries as well. Some of these other applications require other accessories, and
rather than design a different carrying case for each industry, X-rite provides one case to
serve all.
Using the EyeOne Pro with CalMAN
1. Download and install the CalMAN Device Driver Kit
a. Browse to www.spectracal.com . From the navigation bar at the top of the
page, choose Downloads and select Other Downloads.
b. From the Downloads page, under "Other Resources," find Device Driver Kit,
and press the Download Now button. (You may need to answer security prompts
from your web browser to verify that you wish to download a file.)
c. Choose Run from the download prompt or double-click on
DeviceDriversV1.msi to install the device driver kit.
2. Plug the EyeOne Pro into a USB port in your system and install the driver.
When you plug in your EyeOne Pro, Windows will pop up a Found New
Hardware Wizard. Select the option, "Install from a list or specific location." Use
the Browse button to locate the directory where you installed the Device Driver
Kit, then select the i1Pro directory.
3. Start CalMAN and select the EyeOne Pro.
On the Select Meter page, choose the EyeOne Pro from the Meter drop-down list.
If you do not see the EyeOne Pro in the drop-down list, press the Refresh button.
The CD
CalMAN does not require the installation of any software from the CD in the
EyeOne Pro box.
Initializing the EyeOne Pro
Each time you start CalMAN, and after a period of continued use, you will be
asked to initialize the EyeOne Pro. Follow the on-screen prompts. The EyeOne
initialization is a dark calibration which depends on stopping light from entering
the head. Putting the EyeOne in its base plate will accomplish this; so will putting
the black cover on the ambient head.
