Software Development Kit CL-SDK
Changes from previous version
Note:
To enable use of the full functionality of the updated SDK, please be sure that the firmware of the Illuminance Spectrophotometer CL-500A is the latest version. Click here to go to the firmware update page if needed.
Changes from Ver. 1.30 to Ver. 1.30 Release2
System requirements:
- Windowss® 11 Pro has been added to the list of compatible OS.
- Windowss® 7 Professional 32-bit, 64-bit and WindowsⓇ 8.1 Pro 32-bit, 64-bit have been removed from the list of compatible OS.
Changes from Ver. 1.21 to Ver. 1.30
System requirements:
- Windows® 8.1 Pro 32-bit, 64-bit and Windows® 10 Pro 32-bit, 64-bit have been added to the list of compatible OS.
- Windows® XP Professional 32-bit SP3, 64-bit SP2; Windows® Vista 32-bit, 64-bit; and Windows® 8 Pro 32-bit, 64-bit have been removed from the list of compatible OS.
Specification changes:
- 64-bit SDK has been added, so now both 32-bit and 64-bit mode applications can be developed.
Bug fixes:
The following bugs have been fixed:
- Various minor bugs.
Changes from Ver. 1.20 to Ver. 1.21
Bug fixes:
The following bugs have been fixed:
- Problem in which when CLGetDeviceStoredData is called, the luminance, scotopic luminance, and S/P ratio may not be uploaded properly.
- Other minor bugs.
Changes from Ver. 1.10 to Ver. 1.20
Specification changes:
- Addition of scotopic lux and S/P ratio to readable data items
- Addition of manual measurement function
- Compatibility with other functions added to instrument firmware version 1.20: Continuous measurement mode, average measurement mode, measurement delay setting, spectral irradiance wavelength setting in custom display mode
Changes from Ver. 1.00 to Ver. 1.10
Specification changes:
- Measurement range for correlated color temperature by JIS method has been expanded to
1,563 ≤ Tcp < 100,000; -0.1 ≤ ∆uv ≤ +0.1.
Note:
If you are using CL-SDK with a CL-500A, it is strongly recommended that you also upgrade the firmware of the CL-500A to the latest version. If the CL-500A firmware is not upgraded, the measurement range will be different when the instrument is used standalone compared to when it is used with CL-SDK. The table below shows the specifications of different combinations of CL-500A firmware versions and CL-SDK software versions.
- The CL-500A firmware version can be checked by pressing Enter/MENU, selecting “System”, and then selecting “Info(SerNo/Ver)”.
