Measurement Procedure - Konica Minolta CM-36dGV Instruction Manual

Measurement Procedure

• This manual explains the measurement preparation procedure, specimen setting procedure, and other
procedures for measurement with the CM-36dGV.
• Control is performed and measurement is executed from the computer connected to the instrument by using
the optional SpectraMagic NX (CM-S100w) color data software.
• For the measurement procedure using SpectraMagic NX (CM-S100w), refer to the CM-S100w instruction manual.
Flow of Measurement
Connecting to the computer
Connecting the AC adapter
Starting the computer
(Start Windows.)
Launching the software
Power ON
Installing the target mask
Executing zero calibration
(0% calibration)
Executing white calibration
(100% calibration)
* When using WAA (Wavelength Analysis &
Adjustment), execute it after white calibration. WAA
execution requires approximately 20 seconds.
Executing gloss calibration (*)
Setting a specimen
Executing measurement
Power OFF
