You can use dedicated signal generators or use your NLE's SDI/HDMI output. Test patterns can be downloaded form the internet. If you do use your NLE, use an external scope to make sure the levels are correct. As you know, software don't always output the way you think they should.
We use ChromaPure for the client monitor. For the computer monitor, we utilize the i1Profiler that came bundled with i1Display Pro. As Bruno stated, Calman and Lightspace are excellent and popular choices.Dom Q. Silverio

The best way I've found to achieve professional results is to use either the Calman software (from Spectracal) or the Lightspace CMS (from Light Illusion). They're both excellent at profiling/calibrating a display and give you a number of options for getting the test patches onto a monitor. Apart from the expensive option of a dedicated hardware patch generator, they both provide software patch generators for monitors directly connected to a PC or Mac. If you have Blackmagic hardware to feed your monitor, you can use Davinci Resolve to talk to the software and create the necessary patches. The Calman software will also talk to an Amazon Firestick (which plugs into your monitor's HDMI input) to display the necessary patches. Once you've profiled your display there are options to calibrate your monitor in a number of ways.
1) Using your monitor's own controls/adjustments
2) Creating a LUT which can be loaded into supported monitors (eg. Eizo, Flanders)
3) Creating a LUT that can be loaded into a LUT box (eg. AJA LUT box, Fuji IS mini) which sits between the workstation output and the monitor input.
