8 Check the settings and click Measure.
The Information dialog box appears.
9 Place the ES-1000 in the calibration cradle.
When you place the ES-1000 in the calibration cradle, white point calibration is used to
calibrate the spectrometer and compensate for gradual drifts in the instrument. Make sure the
sample aperture is in full contact with the white tile on the calibration cradle. If you do not
place it correctly in the calibration cradle, the spectrometer does not return accurate
measurements.
10 Click OK.
The EFI Spectrometer Measurements dialog box appears. Instructions for measuring the
strips appear in the Status field.
11 For a more accurate measurement, place several sheets of plain white paper beneath the
Measurement Page.
The extra sheets block underlying colors from being read by the instrument.
12 Orient the Measurement Page so that strips are horizontal and the scan direction (indicated
by the arrows at the beginning of each strip) is left to right.
13 Hold the ES-1000 with its length perpendicular to the scan direction, and place the sample
aperture in the white space at the start of the specified color.
14 Press and hold the Measure button and wait for a beep.
N : To hear a beep with a Windows compatible computer, you must install a sound card
OTE
and speaker(s). You may have to turn up the volume on your computer to hear the beep.
