Installation
Once you have received your Calibration Package from SpectraCal (which includes a SpectraCal C3
Colorimeter), you can download CalMAN RGB software from
http://color.spectracal.com/downloads .
Those running CalMAN RGB on a Mac need to run the software from a virtualized Windows machine with
VMware Fusion®. To purchase VMware Fusion software, and for further instructions on operating a virtualized
Windows machine through your Mac OS, go to
www.vmware.com/products/fusion . Those running CalMAN
RGB on a Mac will additionally need to download CalMAN Client 3 for Mac from
http://color.spectracal.com/downloads .
To calibrate a remote computer on a shared local network, you will need to have CalMAN Client 3 installed on
the remote computer. If you intend to use CalMAN RGB to calibrate more than three computers, you will need
to download add-on Client 3 licenses from our website at
http://color.spectracal.com/store/ .
All users need to download Microsoft® .NET Framework 4.5 from SpectraCal’s website.
Before Using CalMAN Software
A software tutorial for CalMAN RGB is included in the Introduction workflow. The tutorial familiarizes users
with the layout of our software, illustrating the locations of significant buttons, control panels, and settings
menus. To access the Introduction workflow, select Introduction from CalMAN RGB’s welcome screen.
SpectraCal recommends reading the software tutorial, as well as the Installation and Hardware Setup
instructions contained in this User Guide, before using CalMAN Software to calibrate your computer monitor.
Standard Monitor Calibration
The Standard Monitor Calibration provides a complete, easy-to-use, calibration workflow that runs a fully-
automated calibration on a Mac or Windows computer. Standard Monitor Calibration offers any user –
regardless of their level of calibration experience – a chance to apply our calibration technology without
exposure to the technical details or manual controls often associated with monitor calibrations.
(Note: The Standard Monitor Calibration workflow cannot be used to calibrate a remote computer. To calibrate
a remote computer, use the Advanced Calibration workflow.)
Hardware Setup
The following setup diagrams illustrate the two possible hardware configurations supported by CalMAN RGB
in the Standard Monitor Calibration workflow. Both setup configurations are compatible with Mac as well as
Windows computers. For instructions on downloading and installing calibration software, see “Installation”
above.
