Dear all and each,
After a while of fighting in order to get my propalette 8000 working, I guess I am getting resigned... I assume the lightning crashed my recorder additionnally to my PC....
Well... It seems I'm not out of the woods yet. The PP8K is now showing me an error message:
"SWERR:icoh.cpp,563:expected perf lo aft" (see attachment)
SWERR stands for "SoftWare ERRor", which is relatively good news.
Which software is it? RP95 or the PP8K's internal software? I did not find any...
Many thanks for your help @clift_d ! I already downloaded the tables file and I did see it contains the "Panther" one. It is a .FLM format such as the one already set into RP95 so it seems to be ok.
You invited to change the Type and Creator codes in case I work on Macintosh though I work on...

I found out some targets on the internet though finally produced some bespoke ones on photoshop : one for color range and another that mixes some b&w graphical...
Many thanks for the time involved into helping me. I do appreciate. Your tips are precious !
I found a high res ISO 12233 test charts but I do not manage to find a digital IT8 file. All I can find is some printed IT8 targets for scanner's calibration.
I don't get exactly what you mean by

Dear clift_d, dear all,
Many thanks for your precious advice @clift_d .
Actually, I am a beginner in film recorder handling. I own a 8000 and I am trying to deal with it step by step. I did not yet have some pics out of it and I plan to launch the first "test" batch at the end of the week...
