Brisque to Lotem 800 II / Lotem Quantum Family - Kodak

36 Chapter 2 – Configuring and Calibrating the Lotem 800 II / Lotem Quantum Family from the Brisque WorkstationControlling the Smoothness of the CurveYou can control the smoothness of the exposed Excurve with the CurveType option. Smoothing adds points between the user-defined inputpoints to smooth out the curve.• To use Excurve smoothing: from the New/Modify Excurve dialog box,select Spline.• To cancel the Excurve smoothing, select Linear.Note: Smoothing does not visually affect the Calculated and Measured curves inthe New or Modify Excurve dialog box. Its effect is seen on the actual Excurvegenerated from the input data (not displayed on the screen).Verifying an ExcurveOnce the Excurve table is created, you can perform a test to verify that thesystem is calibrated properly.Important: We recommend that this verification test be performed on (atleast) a daily basis, depending on the standard of precision required for thefilms you are producing.To verify the Excurve:1. Open the main Calibration dialog box. Make sure that the selectedCalibration Type option is Excurve.For first time verification of the Excurve, the name of the templatewith the Expose parameters used in the calibration already appears inthe Use test Params from box.For periodic verification, or if the correct template is not displayed,click the Selection icon. From the browser, select the template(s) towhich the Excurve you want to verify is attached. The selected templateappears in the Use Test Params from box.2. Open the template itself, and check its defined Expose operationparameters to verify that the intended Excurve is actually attached.3. Click the Calibrated Test Exposure option.4. Click Test. A test exposure is generated, based on the attached Excurvetable. The test exposure is performed using the new curve(s) that youcreated previously.
