1. Tolerancing does not pass correctly nor does the project name.  While measuring samples,
instrument indicates failure for all.  When data is uploaded into the PC, all data appears to be
correct.  To enable operation it was necessary to MANUALLY copy all current driver files and DLLs
from the X-Rite\Common folder (used by X-RiteColor Master) into the XDS200 folder (used by QA-
Lite).

2. MANUALLY updated the driver and DLL files as in footnote #1.  Also note that software does not
automatically place instrument into a measurement mode.  This action must be performed manually
as well else data is not transmitted.

4. Open shoe calibration works but for one missing prompt; "read black".  Other functions seem to
work fine but are SLOW as compared to a 938 or a 968. Speed may be an issue of the PC
configuration on which the 939 was tested

Note: For all of the above tests serial port was configured as follows:

Baud Rate 9600

Handshake off

Auto Transmit ON

Separator CRLF

Delimiter CRLF

Set Data Type Colorimetric

Header Printout off

Standard Printout off

Emulation Modified as in table above
