Average Measurement; Manual Measurement - Konica Minolta cm-5 Instruction Manual

Average Measurement

When taking measurements or setting target colors, more accurate data can be obtained if the averaging
function is used.
With the CM-5, the following two averaging functions are available.
• Manual Measurement : When the color of the specimen is not uniform, measurements are performed
• Auto Measurement : The specified number of measurements are repeated at the same position on the specimen
These two averaging functions can also be used in combination. In this case, it is necessary to make settings for
both auto and manual averaging. For details, refer to page 64 "Auto Measurement" and page 65 "Manual
Measurement".
For average measurement, the average of the spectral reflectance/transmittance values of the sample data is

calculated first, and then colorimetric value is calculated based on that calculated average. Thus, the result may not
match the average of the colorimetric values of the sample data.

Manual Measurement

This method is used when the color of the specimen is not uniform. Measurements are performed randomly at
different positions on the specimen and then the average of the measured spectral reflectance/transmittance data
is calculated, to obtain the average data of the entire specimen.
• Before using manual averaging, you must complete the settings for manual averaging.
Notes
For details, refer to page 65 "Manual Measurement".
• To print individual measurement results (sample data) before averaging, connect the printer to the instrument
before measuring. For information on connecting the printer, refer to page 145 "Printer Connection". Please note
that the sample data before averaging is saved in the instrument.
[Operating Procedure]
1. When a screen other than the <Sample> screen is
displayed, press the [Target/Sample] button.
• The <Sample> screen is displayed.
• Every time the [Detail/List] button is pressed, the screen is
switched between the <Sample> detail screen and
<Sample> list screen.
Measurement can be performed on either the <Sample>
Memo
detail screen or <Sample> list screen.
2. Set the specimen on the Target Mask or Transmittance
Specimen Chamber according to the measurement type.

randomly at different positions on the specimen and then the average of the measured
spectral reflectance/transmittance data is calculated. This gives the average data of the
entire specimen.
and then the average of the measured spectral reflectance/transmittance data is
calculated. This will improve the accuracy of the sample data.
