CalMAN Client 3
Quick Start Guide
CalMAN Client 3 is a test pattern source and display control utility, available for both Windows and Mac.
Client 3 is installed on a Windows or Mac computer that has a monitor to be tested or calibrated.
CalMAN (or CalMED), installed on the same or another computer, connects to Client 3 via an IP socket
connection.
CalMAN controls Client 3 to automatically produce the required test patterns (patches) on the selected
monitor as CalMAN measures the monitor. CalMAN also controls Client 3’s interface to the computer’s
monitor calibration profiles. As CalMAN develops monitor calibration data, it sends the data to Client 3,
which writes the data to the appropriate computer data file. This includes creating and managing ICC
profiles.
