Time and Date

The time and date are usually set for the system. If you need to change these for any reason, select Time (4.) on the Set Up menu. The time and date appear next to the file name on the Whisper system full library list. You can print the time and date as part of the label on exposed films. Follow the instruction on the form:

When you complete the form, select Enter (F1).

Unit Defaults Setting

Use the Units option to define measurement units and color values.

Select Set Up (F2) from the Main Functions menu soft keys.
Select 7. Units from the Set Up menu, the following form appears on the screen:

Press the Space Bar to Change "Size" Units from the default unit, millimeters, to inches. Press ENTER key to skip to the "Color Units" field.

Color Units

The possible system color values are density, percentage, or system values. Press the Space Bar (on the cursor for interactive systems) to change the Color Units from the default.

Enter Density: The film density of each separation can be defined within a range of upper and lower limits (Dmax and Dmin). CreoScitex allows you to enter values from zero (0) in the highlights to 400 in the shadows. We recommend, however, that the minimum density be set to 25. The recommended maximum is 170.

The 25-170 density range is equivalent to density values 0.25 to 1.7. When you select Density, you receive max 0.00/min 0.00.

Enter the maximum and minimum density values.

Enter Percentage (of Dots on Separation) The Percentage of dots on the separation can have a range of 0% highlights to 100% shadows.

Enter System Values: The CreoScitex system sets a digital value corresponding to a density or dot area. When a picture is scanned into the system, the optical density of the picture is converted into voltages. The system converts the analog voltages into 256 distinct system values.

Range: 255 (highlights) to 0 (shadows).

Exit Color Unit Definition: When you finish, select Save & Exit (f1).
