Export of a measurement file made with Coraye to the XRite I1 Profiler software

Just as it is possible to import measurement files from XRite I1 Profiler to Coraye to calculate icc profiles, the converse is also possible.
This means that you can create and measure a chart in Coraye and then calculate the icc profile in I1 Profiler.

1) Export of the measurement file in .table format

This procedure begins at the end of the measurement of the range containing the color patches serving as a reference for the creation of the ICC profile.
To know the previous steps, refer to the chapter "Creating a profile from a standard pattern"

To save the measurement file at the end of the reading of the chart, click on "Export reading"
The file is saved in the left column.
You can rename it to better identify it, for example: P7500 Photo Paper 260gr
