Hi Ernst,

You have misunderstood what was said. Spyders are calibrated using a spectro-radiometer.  And you have cross-attributed the term spectrocolorimeter. The unit referred to as an inverse spectrocolorimeter is the SpyderPrint device, which is a six band reflective measurement device, rather than an RGB colorimeter.
