Possibility to convert csv-file with only L*A*B* values into a ArgyllCMS ti3 file

[pharmacist]

The software under Windows gives this as scan values:

There is no much information about how to use this device: I have chose M0 /D50 at 2 degrees angle . Not sure in the UV-setting I should choose UV400 or not ???

Anyhow It picks up the color patches in LAB values.

So the luminance data is available!

I used it to create a simple script to do a lab to xyz conversion, and generated a sample conversion of some of your attached zip and csv files. To avoid a deep dive into the Argyll software to save a few cents, before we try again, deliver a properly prepared scenario (ti1, ti2, correctly scanned csv, known good ti3 file created using compatible scanner).

Attached is the sample output .ti3 (renamed to .txt for upload compliance), I used the data from the 288-target.ti1 and testprofile v2.csv.

Hi x64,

I got this when trying to create the profile:

It reads only 200 sets and expected 228 sets.....

I changed some description too like Colore Rep into iRGB_LAB (was i1RGB_XYZ).

It reads only 200 sets and expected 228 sets.....

The file says NUMBER_OF_FIELDS = 7 while the DATA_FORMAT statement has 8 fields.

228 * 7/8 = 200

Looks like it just reads data elements according to the data format ignoring new lines.

Are you sure argyll needs RGB and XYZ values anyway? If you can generate them from Lab then argyll could as well.

It looks like chartread with -L and -n switches creates a ti3 file with only Lab values. I presume if such a file isn't useful it wouldn't allow creation of it.

Is the colorimeter you got one of these https://en.chnspec.com/Product/list.aspx?lcid=228 ?
