X-rite NetProfiler Software
Quick Start Guide
-
The latest NetProfiler Version now uses your My X-Rite account credentials to login.
-
You will be guided through the process if you need to create one or if a password reset is needed.
-
There is no need for user IDs, organizations, or device assignment anymore. You can use any device connected.
-
Then you have the choice to use NetProfiler Online through a browser (only eXact Family devices support at the moment) or just update your desktop NetProfiler software to 3.5.0 (or newer). Both available under https://netprofiler.xrite.com/
-
If you use the Online Version, you need to install Autura NEX for the connection between your device and the browser. You will be guided through the process.
If you need your IT to install it before you get started, here is the download link https://www.xrite.com/service-support/product-support/formulation-and- qcsoftware/netprofilersoftware -
The NetProfiler process itself stays the same. We updated the infrastructure in the background to be
more secure, more reliable and to offer more detailed reporting. -
Please also refer to the system requirements on the website, to make sure your IT can adjust any access restrictions.
What is New with NetProfiler Online and v3.5.0
No More NetProfiler User IDs or Organizations
NetProfiler User IDs and Organizations have been replaced with My X-Rite
credentials.
With NetProfiler Online or v3.5.0 (or newer) you will need to login with your
My X-Rite credentials.
These provide a more secure authentication. No NetProfiler assignment required
to profile a device. You can profile any device that is connected.
What Now? NetProfiler Organizations have been replaced with X-Rite Link advanced reporting. Monitor your fleet of devices across several locations now by using X-Rite Link. See details below to learn more about what X-Rite Link has to offer.
NetProfiler Online
Online profiling is available for eXact Family devices. Profile eXact gen 1 devices in half the time, the eXact 1 device will now be profiled for M0, M1 part2, M2, M3 simultaneously (same as for eXact 2), no more moving the physical switch to profile M1 part 1 separately.
For device connection to the browser, you must download and install Autura NEX. Once started, it runs in the background, this application allows the device to send measurements to the web browser.
Note: Devices that are not updated for simultaneous M1 part 2 measurements yet or if you explicitly want to profile M1 part 1, please continue to use the desktop version of NetProfiler and upgrade to the latest version 3.5.0 (or newer).
NetProfiler Desktop Update
All other devices are still supported by the desktop version of NetProfiler. The desktop application has also been updated to improve performance with the database and to allow for improved reporting. It will continue to work offline if required. Improved reporting is available through NetProfiler online.
NEW NetProfiler Reporting
The NetProfiler Reporting has been updated to help teams monitor the devices
that they have profiled.
You will now be able to view the status of the devices that you profile on
NetProfiler Online or v3.5.0 (or newer). You can see the status of the
profiles for all devices, what devices have expired profiles or are expiring
soon and need attention.
*You will only see the status of the devices you have profiled with your own My X-Rite credentials. If you want to manage your fleet across several locations, you can through X-Rite Link.
