SpectraMagic NX

OS Compatibility

Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is not supported. (2006.06.20)
Q The OS supported by SpectraMagic NX are listed in the specifications."Windows XP Professional x64 Edition"is not included in the supported OS list, and is NOT the same as "Windows XP Professional".
A Support for Windows XP Professional x64 Editions is planned for the next version.
Problems may happen with Ver. 1.50 on Windows 2000 (2006.08.07)
Q Following 2 problems may happen with Ver.1.50 on Windows 2000
1. It is not possible to add supplementary data information to measurements.
2. It may not be possible to open files created in previous versions of SpectraMagic NX if such files contain supplementary data information.
A You can solve the above problems by updating your system to Microsoft Internet Exploror 6.0 or later. This bug was corrected by Ver.1.51.
Problems may happen on Windows 98 (2005.02.21)
Q Following 7 problems may happen on Windows 98
1. When "Large button" is checked in the Toolbar tab of the Customize dialog (opened by selecting "Toolbar setup" in the "View" menu , the text may not be shown correctly because of its small size (text is "greeked"). In addition, tooltips may not appear even if "show tooltips" is checked.
2. Graph objects may not be printed sometimes.
3. You create about a hundred graphic objects, then scrolling the window. Graphic objects may not be shown.on the window.
4. This software can load " *.mdb" files created by "Access97"; cannot load files created by the others.
5. If you create " *.mes " files including "User equation" with Pro version, and load these files with Lite version, and then enlarge list window, an application error may happen and application may crash.
6. When using transmittance adapter for CM-500, "Transmission" isn't shown in the " reflectin / transmission" combo box of the Instrument Setting dialog (opened by selecting "Instrument Setting" from the "Instrument" menu).
7. If you load " *.mes " files converted from " *.wsv " files and close the files, then load the files again, the software may freeze.
A You can solve the above problems by update your OS to Windows 2000 from Windows 98.

Set Calibration Data

The new white calibration data cannot be downloaded from the SpectraMagic NX software to the instrument. (Model : CM-3600d and CM-3630) (2004.12.17)
Q If "Load" button is clicked in the "Calibration Data" dialog, the white calibration data specified the file containing the data will be displayed on the dialog.If the OK button is clicked in the dialog, the message box which confirms overwrite of calibration data will be displayed, and if the OK button is clicked, the dialog will close.
Although operation which seems to be right is carried out above apparently, while the white calibration data of instrument has been old, a new white calibration data is not set up.
A This bug was corrected by Ver.1.30.1001.

Initialize Instrument

There is no method to install the updated unit driver in SpectraMagic NX after inspection or repair. (Model : CM-3600d and CM-3630) (2004.12.17)
Q In SpectraMagic NX, although first time installation of the unit driver is supported, the unit driver cannot be updated from the 2nd time.
[Workaround]
By copying a set of the unit driver file in the following folder (*), it can respond to renewal of the unit driver.
(*) The target folder is in the "CM-S100w" folder.
   - The folder name is "CM3600" when the instrument is CM-3600d.
   - The folder name is "CM3630" when the instrument is CM-3630.
A This bug was corrected by Ver.1.30.1001.

List window

The SCE value of the K/S strength ( Apparent, Chromatic at Max. Absorption, Equal Apparent) of the data measured by SCI+SCE is wrong. (2004.12.17)
Q The SCE value of the K/S strength ( Apparent, Chromatic at Max. Absorption, Equal Apparent) of the data measured by SCI+SCE is wrong.
As above-mentioned, bug is limited to the SCE value of SCI+SCE, and does not occur a condition except these.
K/S strength (Chromatic at User Wavelength) shows exact value on all conditions.
A This bug was corrected by Ver.1.30.1001.
K/S strength may be displayed even if it is displaying absolute data on the List window. (2004.12.17)
Q K/S strength may be displayed even if it is displaying absolute data on the List window.
In absolute data, K/S strength must be displayed as "---." However, it will calculate based on the target data chosen immediately before, and K/S strength will be displayed.
A This bug was corrected by Ver.1.30.1001.

File Conversion

The WSV file created by SpectraMagic Ver.3.6 (series) may be inconvertible. (2004.12.17)
Q The WSV file created by SpectraMagic Ver.3.6 (series) may be inconvertible.
The WSV file which set up the target taken out from the Database of Targets is inconvertible.
A This bug was corrected by Ver.1.30.1001.

Installation

SpectraMagic NX cannot be started if a Spanish version is installed in Windows NT4.0. (2004.12.17)
Q SpectraMagic NX cannot be started if a Spanish version is installed in Windows NT4.0.
A SpectraMagic NX starts by saving(overwriting) the "COMDEF.INI" file in the installed folder by the following method.
* If the file concerned is opened by Notepad, it saves(overwrites) in "ANSI" form.
This bug was corrected by Ver.1.30.1001.
If a Spanish version is installed in Windows 98, the menu and icon for choosing objects, such as graph, will not be displayed. (2004.12.17)
Q If a Spanish version is installed in Windows 98, the menu and icon for choosing objects, such as graph, will not be displayed.
A SpectraMagic NX starts by saving(overwriting) the "COMDEF.INI" file in the installed folder by the following method.
* If the file concerned is opened by WordPad, it saves(overwrites) in "Text Document" form .
This bug was corrected by Ver.1.30.1001.

List

A MI value is not displayed on the list. (2005.03.17)
Q A MI value is not displayed on the list.
A This bug was corrected by Ver.1.31.0004.
The value of Grey Scale(ISO 105.A05.2)(C) and Grey Scale(ISO 105.A05.2) (D65) is wrong. (2005.02.21)
Q The value of Grey Scale(ISO 105.A05.2)(C) and Grey Scale(ISO 105.A05.2) (D65) is wrong.
A This bug was corrected by Ver.1.31.0002.

Object

The distribution of Spectral Chart may not suit an actual measurement. (2004.12.27)
Q If the data (it measured by CM-2002 etc.) of the wavelength range from 400nm to 700nm is added after the data of the wavelength range from 360nm to 740nm adding, the wavelength range is compulsorily changed into 400 - 700nm from 360 - 740nm, and a distribution of former data is not displayed appropriately in Spectral Chart. The spectral data of each wavelength from 360nm to 660nm will be set to the wavelength range from 400nm to 700nm.
[The case which is easy to occur]
If the user who has used it in the combination of CM-2002 and SpectraMagic Ver.3.6 updates software to SpectraMagic NX, it will become easy to occur this problem. In SpectraMagic NX, the data of SpectraMagic Ver.3.6 is read as data of the wavelength range from 360nm to 740nm. If the data measured by SpectraMagic NX is added to the file, this problem will occur.
A This bug was corrected by Ver.1.30.2001.
