OVERVIEW AND INSTALLATION
The TAC7 device is a completely new instrument based on X-Rite's Total Appearance Capture
technology. The TAC7 instrument uses 30 light sources and 4 cameras for sampling the material.
Thanks to X-Rite's highly efficient material description algorithms and high resolution cameras, it
delivers precise material descriptions for many material types (e.g., leather, plastic, textiles,
metals, etc.).
Materials to be measured are placed in the sample drawer that can hold samples up to a size of
210 mm x 297 mm (8.27" x 11.69") and a maximum weight of 5.45 kg (12 lbs). Refer to the
Sample Specification section later in this manual for additional information.
