Update Spectrophotometer Calibration Tools: 

When you are updating Spectrophotometer Calibration Tools, please consider the following: 

Database Updates.  Updating the database software is a separate function from upgrading/rebuilding the database itself.  An existing database generated under Sybase v.7 will run under Sybase v.9, but it may degrade the database access speed. We recommend that an update to Sybase 9 program software should always include the step to Upgrade/Rebuild the Database.  This upgrades the Sybase database structure from v.7 to v.9 format.  This option can be accessed from the Datacolor TOOLS installation menu or the Sybase installation menu.
