Selecting, loading, and updating palette databases
The DATABASE option has three purposes: to select the palette that will provide the matching
color, to load a different palette database, and to update the Spectratone palette database.
To select the palette database
1 Press the MENU function key and scroll through the list so that the menu choice
symbol is to the left of the word DATABASE.
2 Press the ENTER function key. If necessary, scroll through the list so that the menu
choice symbol is to the left of the words SELECT DATABASE.
3 Press the ENTER function key again. The two available palette databases (one will
always be Spectratone) appear in the LCD window.
4 Press the UP or DOWN ARROW function keys so that the menu choice symbol is to
the left of the palette database you want to use, then press ENTER. The new palette
database is initialized into memory and the LCD window returns to the previous
operational display.
When you load a palette database you have the choice of loading the entire database into the
colorimeter or loading only the colors that you have in inventory (as described in "Setting up an
inventory" in Additional ColorID Software Features). Loading the database according to the
inventory is the most accurate way to load the CP320 because when you take a sample, the
closest color matches will be ones that you can actually make from materials in stock.
Note: Gerber is constantly adding new foils and new materials and thus the Spectratone
database is quite large and will no longer fit on the colorimeter in its entirety. You must set up
an inventory in order to reduce the size of the database so that you can download it to the
colorimeter.
To load and update the palette database
1 Connect the colorimeter data cable between the computer COM port and the
colorimeter data cable connector, then turn on the CP320.
2 Press the MENU function key and scroll through the list so that the menu choice
symbol is to the left of the word DATABASE.
3 Press the ENTER function key. If necessary, scroll through the list so that the menu
choice symbol is to the left of the words LOAD DATABASE.
4 Press the ENTER function key again. The prompt READY FOR DOWNLOAD appears
in the LCD window.
5 Click Start > Programs > OMEGA > Gerber ColorID to display the Gerber ColorID
dialog box.
6 Click the Settings button to display the Settings dialog box.
