Unlatching The Instrument Shoe - X-Rite SP60 Series Getting Started

To change the Aperture Setting and Target Window:
1. Turn the instrument over and rotate the knob to the left for
8mm (large circle indication) setting and to the right for
4mm (small circle indication) setting. The instrument's
display informs you of the aperture change. Press the Enter
key # to accept the change.

2. Using your fingers, press the target window out from the
topside of the shoe. Press against the ring and not the clear
window.
3. Note the alignment of the new window and snap it into
place from the bottom side of the shoe.
4. Calibrate the instrument to the new aperture setting.
NOTE: The instrument only needs to be calibrated once for each
aperture setting. Thereafter, the instrument does not require
calibration when switching between aperture settings, until the
calibration timer expires.

Unlatching the Instrument Shoe

The shoe can be pivoted open 180° from its closed position.
This feature is useful when taking measurements on a surface
that does not allow room for the shoe, or a measurement fixture
that does not require the shoe. Measurements are then activated
using the Read key (see Instrument Configuration for more
details on the Read key).
