Technical Information
Instrument Reset
Note: When performing an Instrument Reset, which restores the X-Rite Factory Defaults, you will have to
ensure the correct configuration for your software is then restored.
The following procedure resets DTP32HS to the factory default settings.
1. Disconnect power from the instrument.
2. Insert a piece of paper or a strip into the instrument past the front idler rollers.
3. Reapply power to the instrument.
4. After the LED begins to flash red slowly, remove the paper The factory defaults are now
reinstated.
Drive Wheels Rotation Timer
The instruments rubber drive wheels may develop temporary flat spots if the instrument sits
idle for and extended period of time. These “flat spots” could cause the first few moments of
a reading to contain unwanted noise. To prevent this condition, the instrument incorporates
an automatic timer that rotates the drive wheels for 10 seconds after a 12 hour, non-use
period. A reading or computer command that occurs during a wheel rotation timer cycle will
override the cycle and the clock resets.
Technical Notes
Firmware Update
After updating the instrument firmware you must power down the instrument and then
power it back up. This ensures that the instrument functions properly and user-configurable
settings are restored to the factory defaults.
Calibration Strip
The number of steps in the strip definition must be set to a minimum of five to achieve a
successful calibration using the X-Rite calibration reference strip.
