Analyser Pro + VCCE Calibration Help

[NortheastPhotographic]

I have an older VCCE head which does not have the K or I switch. It just has filtration from 0-5. I'm attempting to calibrate my Analyser Pro but I have some questions.

1. My filtration goes from 0 - 0.5 - 1. I don't seem to have a 00. I would have guessed that 0 was 00 and 0.5 was 0, but then again my filtration goes from 1 - 1.5 - 2 in the same amount of rotation so, not sure... How does this effect calibration?

2. The instructions tell me there is no need to re-meter at each stop change. But (in theory), the VCCE should not be effected by changing the filtration until factor 4. So...should I re-meter each stop? Otherwise it increases exposure when I change the filter setting (on the analyser).

I feel like I'm getting close to getting this but these are just some things I encountered while trying to do the first part of calibration tonight...

Nobody? I contacted Secondhand Darkroom and they are closed until Feb. Nice long holiday break!

I may just have to try the method in the instructions and then see if it works unless someone can give me an answer here.

I have the dichro head so I can't provide any real world experience but if it was me I would go by what your filter pack says. So I would skip 00 and start calibrating at Grade 0.

Try looking at the RH designs website, which has been kept up as a resourse for users of the RH Designs equipment, there is a wealth of imformation about calibration of the anylyser pro there
