Page 4: Overview
User Guide VERVIEW Thank you for purchasing the Eoptis' CLM-194, a handheld digital tristimulus colorimeter. The CLM-194 is a handheld compact device for colorimetric detection with a reliability higher than human eye and at a competitive price. Colour measurements can be performed on the surface of a wide range of matte and glossy materials, thanks to a (45°c:0°) measurement geometry and the very uniform illumination provided by integrated LEDs.

Page 7: Measurement Geometry
EASUREMENT EOMETRY The CLM-194 colorimeter is designed to measure the samples the way the human eye does in the real world. It implements a (45°c:0°) geometry, that uses 45° circumferential illumination by means of multiple directional sources and 0° viewing perpendicular to the sample plane, according to ASTM E 1164. The circumferential illumination is essential to achieve repeatable measurements on directional and structured surfaces.
Page 8 Several published standards address sample selection for various industries (fibers, yarn, liquids, powders, coatings, paints, papers, leather, etc...). Contact Eoptis for additional information and support in identifying the best technique to exploits the full performance of the colorimeter.
Page 9 At the end of the software and driver setup, plug the USB cable into a free USB machine’s USB 2.0 port port of the PC. The red EOPTIS logo indicator on the colorimeter will illuminate. confirm successful installation If not, check the Troubleshooting section.
