Measuring With The Intellitrax System - X-Rite Set Up And Operation Manual

Measuring with the IntelliTrax System

After the press sheet is positioned on the track, you are ready to perform a color bar
measurement. A measurement is started one of two ways:
• selecting the measurement function from the software
• pressing the Operation button located on top of the docking station
Refer to the online help in the software for additional information.
In the event that a color bar is crooked or fanned out, the scanning system incorporates a
"look-ahead sensor" that takes corrective action by automatically adjusting the scanning
head. This ensures all color patches are measured accurately.
Once a measurement is set in motion, the vacuum solenoid activates and the "green" light
on the station changes to "flashing green", indicating a scan is in progress. Measurement
results are reported real-time to the computer monitor.
The vacuum pump can be turned off during non-use times by selecting the "Turn off
vacuum" option in Press Tool. Refer to the online help system for further details.
If a problem is encountered during a measurement, the scanning head immediately returns
to the docking station. View your computer monitor to see if an error message is displayed.
If no message is displayed, try to rescan the sheet; if a problem still occurs, refer to the
Troubleshooting section in this manual.
NOTE: You can abort a measurement by pressing the Operation button when the
instrument is scanning the color bar.
