Installation and management of plugins

The Plugins are the interfaces between Coraye and the various compatible spectrophotometers.
If you connect your spectrophotometer and it is not recognized, remember to check if its plugin is installed.
The tutorial below will explain the procedure to you.


Plugins management on the CORAYE software interface

Access to plugins management is made by clicking on the "Config" button located at the top right of the software.

When the installation is new, it is necessary to customize CORAYE by adding plugins corresponding to the spectrophotometers and the color engine you are going to use.

In the example below we are missing the MYIRO spectrophotometer plugin from Konica Minolta.
So we are going to install it.
To install a plugin, we have two possibilities
- The first (and the simplest) is to click on the " Install plugin " button located under the icon corresponding to the instrument (for example MYIRO Pilot)
- The second is to download the plugin via the Dashboard and install it with the " Install Plugin " button

The MYIRO window opens, showing comments on the features of the spectrophotometer. To download the MYIRO plugin, click on the button corresponding to the system on which CORAYE is installed.

The plugin installation procedure is the same on Windows and Mac OS

Management of plugins options

To update a plugin, it is necessary to uninstall the old version, then install the new one.

Always install the latest versions of plugins when you update the software.
