Measurement of the green diagnostic tile failed.

If you have a failure on the green tile, then please check the following items.

Clean the green tile with a soft paper tissue
Check the green tile for scratches.
Clean also the white tile with a soft paper tissue.
Check on the calibration screen of the software which aperture is selected.
Now verify that the same aperture is on the instrument.
If that is correct recalibrate the instrument.
If you still have a failure, call your Datacolor representative
