Hi steve
Can you give more detail about the 5th generation or would that breach your NDA?
Also I was wondering if you would be able to share a testflight link to the IOS app, once you were able to update it.
I was looking into buying the LM4 but I only have a mac, did anyone get the WIndows app to work on their mac without virtualization?
I am trying to use it to test professional video lights therefore was wondering if I should wait on G5 or should get the G4.
And I wanted to say, that you took the innitiative to come into a Forum to listen to userinput and involve them with the development is very much appreciated. I hope you employer also acknowledges your efforts!
5th is positioned as a demo project currently, maybe only 10 units are to be produced, not intended for mass production. It would feature a screen, and support distance measurement(about 40 meters, it could be useful for interior designer), the spectral chip is still as7341. as for the windows software, I will continuously update it at my spare time. I am not familiar with mobile app development, and I am not familiar with Mac either. I actually emailed the 2 project managers several days ago(long ago I sent messages to them through IM software ), nobody replied. one PM is responsible for OPPLE home, and the other is responsible for OPPLE smart lighting. nobody replied me. I am in talks with the mobile application programmer, he has no right to modify the application himself, whether update or not is determined by the PMs. so you know, I can decide nothing, so I write the windows software by myself, that’s what I can decide
btw, the mobile programmer can modify and package for me privately, but if the app is for App Store or Google Play, it’s another story, must seek authorization from PMs.
Everyone: If I wanted to splurge and buy a spectrometer to measure or compare against the Opple, what’s the gold standard? Looking for all the same features, from R9 to flicker.
Is it the Sekonic C-800? Or is there a better option?
CL-500a is extremely expensive, 200a costs less, but still expensive, and 200a doesn’t support Ra/R9/CS/EML measurement, those metrics actually need the full measured spectra to be computable, but cl-200a only has 30 receptor heads(you can see it in the image below), while as7341 has only 8
1.faster.
2.chromatic coordinates crosshair plot correct now.
3.spectra intensity is more reasonable now.
4.save to Microsoft Excel supported.
5.copy and paste.
6.improved adjusting to different resolution.
I sent another email to the 2 PMs, nobody replied me. long ago I private messaged them, and wrote a email then got no response.
I will not do it again.
Thank you for the update. I tried it, and here is a summary of what I found:
Good:
The measurements are much faster.
The Copy button can be useful.
Areas for Improvement:
The chromatic coordinates crosshair mark is still incorrect, although it has improved.
The layout needs to be improved. At 4k resolution, the window has to be very large with a lot of empty spaces. When I try to reduce the size of the window, the components are not displayed correctly.
The measurements get significantly slower as you take multiple measurements. The measurements are very fast when you first launch the app, but they get slower as you take more measurements. The app even hangs sometimes.
I will describe more about selected items from the list above:
The chromatic coordinates crosshair mark is still incorrect
CCT= 3405, x=0.4107, y=0.3921, duv=-0.0005
[1] I notice two things are incorrect in this graph. First, the crosshair mark is slightly to the left of the 3000K line. The correct crosshair mark should be much farther left from the 3000K line, almost in the middle between the 3000K and 4000K lines. Second, the crosshair mark is way below the BBL. A duv of -0.0005 should be displayed very close to the BBL.
[2] The correct chromatic coordinates from www.waveformlighting.com correctly display CCT=3405 (in between the 3000K and 4000K lines) and duv=-0.0005 (almost on the BBL, slightly below).
The layout
This is how the app is displayed when I adjusted the size of the window where I could see all the information. It has a lot of empty spaces.
thank you. did you notice the crosshair plotted by the mobile app under your test light source? is there any difference between the windows app and the OPPLE Home?
the UI layout is headache now, under 4K it’s ugly.
as for #3 improvement, I will try, I haven’t encountered this yet.
The mobile app graph is very small, and I find it less useful. Nevertheless, I think I did not notice errors so far in the mobile app.
I think the graph should look similar to what I generated from waveformligting.com. The current graph displays too much of unnecessary regions. x,y ranges from 0.25 to 0.5 should be enough. The current graph shows the graph from 0 to 0.8.
Please try more. After more than 40 clicks, I can replicate the slow measurements. It takes about two to three seconds to measure, after 40 measurements.
this is my office light, seems the crosshair plot is correct? @Limsup
seems it’s caused by the screen resolution on your screen, in a word, related to UI layout
I don’t think it is correct. duv=-0.0022 should be displayed much closer to BBL given that the graph is so zoomed out. You can see how close it is to the BBL in the zoomed in version of the graph.
