Incident Color Meter

Product Overview

The Incident Color Meter CL-200 supports measurement of the tristimulus values, chromaticity, color difference, correlated color temperature, and illuminance of light sources.

Principal Applications

• R&D for projector light sources.
• Control of color quality for CRTs and color LCDs
• Examination of light boxes for color change over time
• R&D and quality control for fluorescent lights
• Control of light boxes for color evaluation purposes
• R&D for building and interior lighting products
• Evaluation of experimental psychological environments

Main Features

• Four calibration functions for correction of measurement values.
  Normal calibration: Measurement values are corrected using a standard A-source as the calibration light source
  Normal user calibration: Measurement values are corrected by input of calibration light-source values
  Multi calibration: Measurement values are corrected using R, G, B, and W values from an ultra-high-pressure mercury lamp.
  Multi user calibration: Measurement values are corrected using R, G, B, and W values from a calibration light source.
  *: Data Management Software CL-S1w (sold separately) is required in order to input correction values for multi user calibration.
• Automatic zero-adjustment without a receptor cap
  As soon as the power is turned on, the CL-200 automatically carries out zero adjustment and calibration, even when a cap has not been attached to the receiver, thus allowing measurement operations to be started almost immediately.
• Main unit and receiver can be separated and connected using a commercially-available LAN cable.
  The receiver can be positioned away from the main unit in order to carry out remote measurement (100 m maximum).
  *: An Adapter Unit for Main Body T-A20 and Adapter Unit for Receptor Head T-A21 (sold separately) will be required.
• * Two-way RS-232C communication
  Featuring an RS-232C interface as standard, the CL-200 can be connected to a PC in order to carry out data processing. Even in situations where multi-point measurement is carried out, batch processing can be carried out on measurement data from a number of different receivers.
  *: A Connecting Cable T-A11 (sold separately) will be required in order to carry out RS-232c communication.
• Printed output
  Hard copies of measurement data can be obtained by simply connecting your CL-200 to a commercially-available printer (fitted with an RS-232c terminal).
  *: A Printer Cable T-A12 (sold separately) will be required in order to perform printer output.
• Key cover for worry-free operation
  A sliding key cover can be used to hide the CL-200's multi-function keys when not in use, thus preventing them from being accidentally pressed.
• LCD backlight is automatically controlled for low illuminance and hold.
• Power is supplied either using AA batteries or an AC adapter (sold separately).
• Simple, low-cost, and capable of multi-point measurements.
  A single unit used for data display and key operations can be connected to as many as 30 receivers.
• An Adapter Unit for Main Body T-A20 and Adapter Unit for Receptor Head T-A21 for each receptor head (sold separately) will be required for multi-point measurements.
• Dedicated PC software for a complete system
  The Data Management Software CL-S1w (sold separately) can be used to display measurement values in real time; to control up to 30 multi-point measurements; to perform ANSI measurement; to set measurement intervals; and to specify standard, upper limit, and lower limit values.
