Color iQC Help - X-Rite

Settings Options
This tab of the Settings dialog allows you to select from a variety of
program options. Clicking on the checkbox enables the item.
Auto-accept standards --- Selecting this option prevents Color iControl from
double-checking with the user before storing newly read measurements from the
instrument. Normally, after measuring a standard the program will display the
measurement data, along with fields for naming the standard, concentration, etc.,
and then ask you if you wish to store the data. This option eliminates the doublecheck
and immediately stores the standards and moves on to the next
measurement. Also, if this option is turned on, the user will not be given the
opportunity to enter tolerances for that standard manually.
Auto save measurements to database --- Normally, in order to save
measurements to the database, you must select "Save to Database..." from
under the Data menu. However, selecting this option instructs the program to
automatically save all measurements to the database for recall later.
Auto promote standards on trial reading --- Checking this box instructs the
program to automatically select among multiple standards which standard is to
be promoted to current status in the job based on the Pass/Fail tolerances in that
job. This will be done as each trial is read so long as the standard being
promoted is 1.5 (default) Pass/Fail tolerances from the standard. If a trial is read
that is not within the pass/fail limits, the currently selected standard will be
demoted so that the main standard slot is empty.
Auto save/refresh colorants to database --- This checkbox affects program
operations whenever you are in Primary Evaluation. If checked, whenever you
evaluate a set of primaries and store them as a colorant into the current job, that
colorant will also be stored to the database at the same time. This does not mean
you will store those primaries to the database, only the colorant will be autostored.
Note: Primaries can only be evaluated and colorants stored in the iMatch
version of Color iControl.
Checking this option also instructs Color iControl to re-load all of the
colorants in the current job from the database immediately upon opening the job.
This ensures that all colorant information in the job is current. For example, some
colorants may have had their cost values increased. By auto-refreshing the
colorants, an older job would automatically have the correct cost value.
Auto save jobs every --- This field allows you to set Color iControl to auto-save
jobs in case of a system crash or other malfunction. You may use the field
provided to enter an interval (in minutes) for the auto-save to be performed. This
field defaults to sixty (60) minutes.
Auto Average Trials --- Checking this option enables the system for autoaveraging
during the trial measurement process. With this option enabled, the
