3. Wallaby automatically calculates the optimum CSC values and send them to cubes. The
calculated CSC values reflect on your selected CSC table, 1 or 2.
Note: When you measure color data by color analyzer, measure it in order of Panel ID since the
calculated values are sent to cubes in order of it.
