All the process is based on importing/exporting data through the CGATS file format.
You don't need to create a new chart with "Chart Generator" each time you have to use Gateway. You can use always the same chart.But il should be interesting to create four different chart with their data
RGB Calibration chart
RGB Characterization chart
CMYK Calibration chart
CMYK Characterization chart
On Coraye create your target following the process described in Creating a media profile. But this time, instead of directly clicking on "Next" button, click on "Export Barbieri".
You should then have a ti1 file that is indeed a CGATS file. You can rename it to .txt instead of .ti1.
