Color, space, tolerances. Every color is described by the color space coordinates and the permissible toler-
ance values. Up to three tolerance limits per color can be specified depending on the color space. If the cur-
rent reading is within these tolerances, the color is detected and signaled, see Chap. 5.4.4, see Chap. 5.4.5.5.
The model color space can be changed in the Recognition Profile, see Chap. 5.7.5.2.
If the sensor detects a color within the tolerance limits, it indicates the status on the left side of the window
with a depiction of the current color, see Chap. 5.7.4.
No tolerance parameters are set for classification, because the currently measured color is always associated
with the color saved in the color table with the last distance to the measured color, see Chap. 5.4.5.5.
When learning a new color group, the standard values are used for the distance model
values (6).
