XM310K Calibration Guide Only for use with XM310K (firmware 2.1.2 or later) Last Revision: 5-11-2020 Flanders Scientific, Inc. 6215 Shiloh Crossing Suite G Alpharetta, GA 30005 Phone: +1.678.835.4934 Fax: +1.678.804.1882 E-Mail: Support@FlandersScientific.com www.FlandersScientific.com...
To start, please make sure you have an XM310K specific matrix saved to the CR100 and that it is named XM310K. This will be the active matrix the monitor uses when connected to the CR100. If you do not have an XM310K specific matrix you can create one with a suitable spectroradiometer using the CRI Utility or you can send your CR100 to FSI for creation of an XM310K specific matrix.
XM310K Calibration Guide Option 3: Volumetric Calibration Using LightSpace or CalMAN 3A: LIGHTSPACE Pre-Calibration Steps Monitor Settings Before starting calibration please set all gain, bias, and rotary knob controls back to default. From the COLOR menu on the monitor set COLOR SYSTEM to LightSpace and set the LUT MODE to your choice of Normal or Advanced.

To Sync the CR100 set Sync Frequency to Manual and select Probe Calibration. Follow the prompt and click Ok. It may be advisable to type in a custom number here based on your source frame rate, contact FSI support if you have questions about this selection.
XM310K Calibration Guide 3B: CALMAN Please note: CalMAN is currenlty only compatible with SDR 3D LUT based calibraiton. 3D LUT based HDR calibration is not currently supported in the software. Pre-Calibration Steps Monitor Settings Before starting calibration please set all gain, bias, and rotary knob controls back to default.

You can skip the Pre Cal Capture step if you like, this is optional. However, before continuing select the FSI monitor tab at top right and select Full DDC Reset. This step will load UNITY LUTs to the selected calibration position. Loading UNITY LUTs returns the monitor to its native, uncalibrated state, which is necessary before continuing with the calibration process.

3D LUT will be saved to the correct memory position. We also suggest using 0.5 pattern delay. The XM310K is a very linear device so a Lightning LUT may be more than sufficient to generate excel- lent calibration results. We suggest trying Lightning LUT first before trying longer calibration processes, but time based and point based selections will also work well.
