Validation is also possible if your measurement device is not supported by ORIS CxF Toolbox. Measure the spot ink characterization chart with another tool, save the measurements as a CGATS or QTX file and assign them to the CxF/X-4 color definitions as explained below.

1. Click at the top to open the Assign Measurements dialog.
2. Click and select the measurement files to be loaded. Hold the Shift or Ctrl key pressed down to select multiple files.

   The Measurement drop-down list will be populated with all measurements from all selected files.

3. Optional: Click if the spectral curves and metadata should always be displayed automatically for the currently selected measurement.

   The data appears in the main window in the background. Reclick to redisplay what was shown before.

4. From the Color name list, select a CxF/X-4 color definition.
5. From the Measurement list, select the data that was measured for the selected color definition.
6. Click to assign the measurement to the color definition.

   The application checks the measurement against the specifications in the CxF/X-4 data and indicates the result in the background.

   The result ( or ) is indicated separately for delta E and the metamerism index. The measurement result is counted as successful if both icons are .

7. Examine the various charts and tables which indicate the color deviations both visually and numerically. For more details, refer to the Parameter Reference section.
8. Select the next color definition and assign a measurement to it as explained above. Do this until all colors have measurement data.
9. Click Close.

   The table on the right indicates the number of measurements which were successful, which failed, and which remain to be made.

   The overall validation result is indicated using a large icon as soon as the last measurement has completed. Validation is successful if all measurement results are successful, otherwise validation has failed .
