BB-1 Importing density measurementsThis appendix describes Simple ASCII File Format, which can be used to importdensity measurements from measurement devices. To use your own measurement datafrom an alternate measurement instrument, record your individual readings in a textfile and structure it as follows.Simple ASCII Import File Format (SAIFF)This format describes Status T measurement data and is for import into theColorWise Pro Tools Calibrator. The three possible file formats are:• 1D Status T density for EFI 34 patch page• 1D Status T density for EFI 21 patch page• 1D Status T density for other pages (maximum of 256 patches per ink)The file format is ASCII and has no tabs. A single space or multiple spaces are usedas delimiters. Blank lines are not allowed. Each line in the file represents four patches(C, M, Y, K) of a specific ink value. Comments may be on any line in the file, andthese lines start with a pound sign (#) followed by a space. A line with a pound signfollowed by any character other than a space has been reserved. Comments must beon an entire line by themselves.Each line of data contains five values. The first number is the sequential patch number(for EFI 34 and EFI 21 pages) or the ink value percentage (for other pages). The fourvalues that follow are the density values of C, M, Y, and K of the corresponding patch.Lines are ordered either by increasing sequential patch numbers or by increasing theink percentage.For Windows computers, the file extension must be .cm1. For Mac OS computers, thefile type must be ‘TEXT’.Measurement data in EFI 34 and EFI 21 are paper-relative. For other pages, if the firstline corresponds to zero ink value, the Calibrator assumes that the measurement data isabsolute and adjusts it to become paper-relative by subtracting the density values of thefirst line from the remaining patches.Appendix B:Importingdensitymeasurements
