Multitest sdr-36 ini file reference

 

INI file settings for Color/Tone sdr-36

For more information on how to use INI files in Imatest IT, we recommend the Imatest INI File Reference. See also Saved settings – Imatest.ini and INI files for use with Imatest IT

For Imatest IT, most of the entries in the table don’t need to be entered. Many don’t affect Imatest IT results: they control interactive figure displays or figure output formats (figures are often not used in Imatest IT). Some have extra value to facilitate future expansion. To extract an INI control file for Imatest IT from the default Imatest Master INI file (imatest-v2.ini), we recommend the procedure described in Extracting an INI file from imatest-v2.ini for Imatest IT.

In Imatest 5.2+, Color/Tone Auto has been renamed Color/Tone Auto, but ‘multitest’ will still be used in the ini file. Run Color/Tone Auto with the chart to be used for IT prior to extracting the ini file from imatest-v2.ini (which contains everything from Master runs).

This document was created by running Color/Tone Auto sdr-36 in Imatest 5.2.0. ALPHA on 06-Jun-2019 22:12:40.

Background Meaning
Yellow Yellow background: Important to Imatest IT. Parameter and Description are in boldface. [IT]
Cyan Cyan background: Figure settings. (Figures are used infrequently for IT.) [f]
Gray Gray background: For interactive operation. No effect on IT.
Clear Clear background: Results details (units, scaling, etc.) for CSV and JSON output,
or not yet categorized. May affect IT results.
