  • Page 16: Taking Color Measurements

    Taking Color Measurements ● When taking measurements, be careful to hold the CHROMA METER so that the recep- tor window is clear of shadows (such as your own shadow) and reflected light. ● Illuminance unit is selectable lx or fcd. (page 8) Measuring Method 1.

  • Page 17: Low-Light Alert

    Low-Light Alert If the measured illuminance is less than about 5 lx (0.5 fcd), some of the measured values on the display will blink. The blinking display lets you know that the illuminance is low. Specifically, the following values will blink to alert you of this condi- (Values blink to indicate tion: x, y, u’, v’, T, Dominant wavelength/Excitation purity, ∆uv, ∆x, low illuminance)

  • Page 18: Taking Color-Difference Measurements

    Taking Color-Difference Measurements Use the procedure described below to measure the difference between the sample color and a target color. You can select any of four color-difference displays: (a) ∆Ev ∆x ∆y, (b) ∆Ev ∆u’ ∆v’, (c) ∆Ev ∆u’v’ or (d) ∆X ∆Y ∆Z. Setting the Target Color You can set the target color values in either of two ways.
