Posts 1 and 3 should already cover most of what you need to know to use the Alternative DLLs. Please read before asking questions.
JVC have been providing automatic calibration software for various models of their D-ILA projectors. Each projector model requires a specific version of the calibration software; see the list here which I have summarized in post 2:
JVC Autocal Download
The software is very effective in compensating for the drift and aging of the projectors' internal components, in particular the lamps and the D-ILA panels. The main limitation of the software is that they support only very specific meters (see post 2), many of which have now become obsolete.
There are 3 options available to use alternative (officially unsupported) meters to perform JVC Autocal. The options are listed chronologically. Note that the JVC software has a Log Only mode which reports the measurements of the projector's grey-scale and Primary/Secondary colours without performing the actual calibration, so you can test it without any risk.
Option 1: Software developer Steven D. (scyomantion) has come up with a replacement DLL that allows additional meters to be used with the JVC software, using the ArgyllCMS "Spotread.exe" as the measurement engine. In principle any meter supported by ArgyllCMS can be used; see the list here:
ArgyllCMS
The software likely will not be updated further.
The download link for version 0.1.4 is:
GitHub - scyomantion/FakeSensor: Fake Spyder 4 Sensor DLL that uses ArgyllCMS
Please make sure to download the 32-bit version.
Option 2: Software developer @OMARDRIS has developed alternative DLLs using X-rite SDK (Software Development Kit). They work with the X-rite i1Pro3, i1Display Pro (Retail version and most OEM versions).

Option 3: Software developer @OMARDRIS has developed alternative DLLs that allow the Light Illusion ColourSpace (all versions including ZRO) to connect to JVC Autocal. See the following post for details:
Using ColourSpace
The DLLs for Option 3 are only available by request from the following site; please do not contact the developer for the DLLs.

Using Alternative Meters for JVC Autocal Software
Hello, since the Xrite i1Pro2 spectrometer has been replaced by the i1Pro3 and in the meantime some users might consider buying this spectrometer, I have revised the direct DLL adaptation for the i1Pro3 to JVC-AutoCal. One now selects the displayed i1Pro2 in JVC-AutoCal but uses the connected...

There has been interest expressed by several members about this feature but the forum has been remarkably silent in its replies. When Cine4home did a 'whats new' technical review of the X series in 2012 it included a section about the feature and said: 'We are excited to see how well the...
