Unfortunately, being able to measure output values only solves half the
problem.  For a full color-correction workflow, I need to be able to
soft-proof, which requires that my monitor is profiled and calibrated.
To do so requires a colorimeter--or spectrophotometer--which can be used
by Linux.

For instance, Avantes (http://www.avantes.com) provides a Linux SDK for their Spectrocam. Basically it appears to work, but IMO it's nasty that even the low level API library (distrubuted as binary) is compiled with g++, although it appears to be a pure C (and not C++) API. And it looks like they have used gcc 2.95.3 to compile it. Unfortunately gcc versions below 3.x are not ABI compatible for C++, i.e. all C++ binaries which are linked together, must be compiled with the same gcc/g++ version. The consequence is, that a Spectrocam SDK application must be compiled with the same old gcc/g++ version as the SDK was compiled.

I also think that for several (not all) Xrite instruments (e.g. DTP41, DTP51) programming information for the V.24 protocol is documented and available.

It seems to be the only possiblity at the moment to use the wine emulator,
for running calibration applications.

If it works. E.g. the Spectrocam software for Windows did not work for me with an emulator, neither with WINE, nor with VMware -- there were some problems with the emulated serial port and the software was not able to talk to the instrument.

Gerhard
