Known Issues with 1.3.170
- BestMatch Graph function has been temporarily removed due to an existing bug that resulted in device crashes. This will be replaced in the next Firmware release, planned for Q4 2024
- The Digital Loupe may not capture an image on first attempt. If you allow the video targeting to timeout, then press the measure button again to reactivate the camera and then it will function normally. This will be addressed in the next Firmware release.
Perfomance Tip: X-Rite recommends to reduce the Video Targeting Timeout to 15 seconds to improve overall device performance. To change this, go to "Device Settings", then "Power Settings", then "Targeting Timout"
