DATACOLOR 100/110/200 ONETINT CONFIGURATION

Required: Must have calibration files that comes with the unit. These are specific to the unit; no other files can be used, or all color matches produce incorrect results. These files are on some type of disk in the drawer of the machine.

SECTION 1: PREPPING THE DATACOLOR FILES

1. The unit will have a drawer, the calibration files could be on a mini cd, a USB flash drive or a 3.5“floppy disk. In some cases, some units come with multiple mini cd’s, USB flash drives or 3.5” floppy disks, go through each one and locate the files below.

   

2. Insert the media into the computer, in Windows File Explorer, locate the following files, all three files are REQUIRED:

   

   1. WHITESE.DAT

   2. WHITESI.DAT

   3. A file ending with .GLS, in most cases the file will be in this format, R_xxxx.GLS, the x’s indicating the serial number found on the back of the Datacolor unit. In other cases, the file will either be a DF100.GLS, DF110.GLS or DC200.GLS as long as the file ends in .GLS, that is the correct file needed.

3. In Windows File Explorer, navigate to this folder C:\OneTint\OneTintDotNet\Spectro\DCICalibration

   

4. Locate the serial number on the back of the Datacolor unit for an example we will use serial number 12117, remember to use your specific serial number.

5. Within the DCICalibration folder, right click on a white / blank spot and select create a New Folder with the folder highlighted rename the folder to R12117, remember the numbers after the R will be the serial number off of the back of your unit.

   

6. Double click the newly created folder to navigate into it.

7. Copy the calibration files found in Step 2 and paste them into this folder.

8. Rename the .GLS file (remember there are different file name variations) to R12117.GLS, notice the original file was R_12117.GLS and renamed to R12117.GLS. Remember to use your own serial number found on the back of the unit.

   

9. Edit the R12117.GLS file by right clicking on the file, select Open With and select Notepad. Locate the field named serial_number: if the numbers are all 0’s (zeros), replace the 0’s with the serial number of your machine. Save then close the file.

   

10. Preparations of the Datacolor files are complete. Continue onto SECTION 2: ONETINT CONFIGURATION

1. Determine what port the Datacolor device is connected to by opening Device Manager

   

2. Make notes of the ports under the Ports (COM & LPT) submenu. COM ports are not very descriptive, so make note of the number at the end. Some computers have more than one COM port, so it’ll be a trial and error to see which is the correct one.

3. Start the OneTint program
