The newest firmware will update the TM‐30 metric from TM‐30‐15 to TM‐30‐18, which Rf is identical with Rf of CIE 224:2017, international standard. This is a standard that many feel will replace CRI (Ra) as a more accurate way to measure the color fidelity (Rf) because TM‐30 measures 99 colors chosen from more than 100,000 measured objects vs CRI's 8 colors. TM‐30 also measures gamut (Rg) which helps the user better understand how saturated colors will look.
This recent firmware update also shows the CCT, LB and CC properties of a preset when chosen in the Tool Box under the Preset Selection menu.
