10-07-2009 Version 1.1 of ChromaPure is now available
Cosmetic Changes
- Added icons along the top of the window
Bug-fixes
- Fixed problems with the Chroma 5 colorimeter's CRT mode.
- Fixed a problem in which quickly moving between open modules would cause a crash.
- Fixed an issue that arose when reading very low light levels in which the values could not be interpreted by the gamma chart resulting in an unhandled exception.
New Features
- Added support for Excel 2007 (for reporting).
- Added support for the DTP-94 colorimeter.
- Added a feature that prevents system instability that may arise when users would attempt to take readings in one module when the continuous mode was still enabled in another module.
- Added an auto-save and data recovery feature to enhance data integrity. When you exit ChromaPure© normally, you are asked if you first want to save the calibration session.* Also, the system will now auto-save the session data every 2 minutes. If the calibration session is unexpectedly interrupted due to loss of power or a system freeze or shutdown, upon re-starting ChromaPure© the user is asked whether he or she wishes to load the most recently saved data.
- Added an XML file format to session data export. The advantage of this over the binary .cal session files, which are retained, is that you can open the files and read them in a web browser.
- Added support for the CIE2000 color difference formula
- Added an optional 5% reading in the Gamma module. This can help with getting shadow detail just right, especially with a display or processor that offers point-by-point gamma adjustments.
- Application modules now have scroll bars when all the controls do not fit in the window.
- ChromaPure© no longer allows multiple instances of the application to be running.
* The binary session files saved with older versions of ChromaPure may no longer work. Licensed users will be provided with download instructions.
12-23-2009 Version 1.2 of ChromaPure is now available
New Features
- Support for automation with the Accupel (HDG-3000/HDG-4000) external signal generator
- Support for automation with the PC's video card
- Support for integrated reporting (Excel no longer required)
- Support for the Klein K-10 non-contact professional colorimeter
- Support for 15% and 95% levels in gamma module for use with JVC projectors
- Support for 64-bit operating systems
Cosmetic Enhancements
Grayscale and Color Gamut modules now display the dE method selected in the Options module.
Bug Fixes
- We have fixed an issue that arose when changing Options or importing a session file. Previously, the new data would only appear after closing and then reopening a module. Now the data automatically refreshes.
- We have removed the .cal session file format and replaced it with a .calx XML format instead, which is more reliable, scalable, and can be opened by the user as a text file.
Known Issues
We are still working on providing 64-bit support for the DTP94 colorimeter.
Existing customers are enitled to a free upgrade and will be provided with download instructions

07-21-2010 Version 1.3.1 of ChromaPure is now available
This release offers a few bug fixes identified in 1.3. It can be downloaded here. 1.2.1 users who want to use this build should contact user support for an updated license file.
- The meter mode drop-down incorrectly displayed Generic LCD as the default choice when CRT was the actual default. This has been fixed.
- The DTP-94 meter used fL when cd/m2 was selected as the default luminance.
- The Pre and Post-Calibration Grayscale modules displayed grayed-out selections until activated by auto-advance. This prevented the user from selecting any desired level until all readings had been taken. The grayscale levels are no longer initially grayed out.
- The Settings Report was broken. It has been fixed.
Known issues
- Some international character sets cause problems requiring the user to select U.S. English in the Windows Control Panel.
- The internal test patterns initially appear in duplicate. Just close the unnecessary window to proceed.
