| Using the Emulation tab, you can create a new profile that contains your selected settings, apply an existing profile, or apply a stereotype of a system profile. Different from a profile created from the Calibration tab, you can also change the R, G, and B color gamma. Of course, you cannot use a gamma value beyond the range of gamma values that can be expressed by your Edison monitor. |

|
| When selecting a profile for which you already performed emulation, you can skip step 2 in the Calibration section and apply the settings directly by clicking the Apply Now button. However, downloading the settings to your monitor is not possible because it is assumed that downloading them was already performed at the early stage of execution. Therefore, if you want to download the settings to your monitor, you should not click the Apply Now button and you should proceed with step 2 described in the Calibration section. |

You will be asked whether to save the emulated settings to your monitor. To save, click the OK button. It will take some time to save these settings. The emulated settings saved in the monitor are saved as the emulation mode which constitutes a part of the color mode of your monitor. From now on, your monitor will be displayed with the saved settings whenever emulation mode is selected. |
|
|
 |
|
| 05. When finished, click the Exit button. |
|
| When exiting the program after saving the changed settings as the emulation mode, the
color mode of your monitor will change to the just saved current emulation mode. If the
program is not exited normally because communication to the monitor is disconnected, the "Color Calibration" message will appear when pressing the OSD. If this occurs, run the
program again and exit it normally. |
