UP2516D, calibration without using DUCCS
Can I calibrate the UP2516D with the standard i1Profiler? I have had problems getting DUCCS to work and I'm not going to spend any more hours on it. I realize the standard i1Profiler will not save info to LUTs CAL1 and CAL2. If it is possible to calibrate with the standard software, what color space would I set the monitor to? AdobeRGB? I gather I would not use CAL1 or CAL2 since I assume those are for saving info to the LUTs.

The DUCCS software is designed to only work with the hardware X-Rite i1Display Pro colorimeter.
Exactly what issues are facing with the DUCCS software and the X-Rite i1Display Pro colorimeter. Did you read the guide first? Did you read this FAQ?
Please define what you mean by, "standard i1Profiler"? To me, i1 means the X-Rite i1Display Pro colorimeter.
If it is possible to calibrate with the standard software?
The only calibration I have heard of uses both software and a hardware colorimeter.

Two options if you don't want to use DUCCS
1- Learn how to program in C++, build a custom app that uses Dell SDK: calculate calibration (lut-matrix-lut) , upload that calibration to your monitor in CAL1 or CAL2
2- Use old way calibration: Graphics card LUT instead of monitors LUT.
I WON'T use i1Profiler, use DisplayCAL. You should use a suitable spectral correction for that widegamut LED and i1DisplayPro family (Muki display too). RG_phosphor/GB-LED will be one easy option since DUCCS/i1Profiler DO NOT have a "true" suitable correction for UP2xxxD... but GB-LED will do te work (you can get actual correction from HP z32x softwre but it may not be an easy task if you ar a newbie or a non techie person).
Several ways of do this:
2.1- Use Custom color mode (native gamut), you can tweak white point inside monitor with RGB gain/offset in OSD controls. If you wish D50 white you should go this way
2.2- Use some of the factory gamut emulations laike sRGB or AdobeRGB. Gamma should be closer to your desired target and grey should be neutral... but you must loose grey levels to correct whitepoint color... like in a laptop or an iMac. If you wish (for example) AdobeRGB D65 white, should be easy to get... but I won't go to D50 whites in this way.
Anyway, I would try to get DUCCS work. If its results are not exactly what you want, you cant try to do "old way calibration" (graphics card) on top of your CAL1/CAL2 after DUCCS.
