Attaching the White CalibrationPlate
(When using the benchtop base)
CAUTION
Do not perform measurement with the specimen measuring port directed
towards your face. Doing so may cause damage to your eyes .
Be careful not to pinch hands in parts of the instrument or accessories
that open and close.Doing so may result in injury.
The white calibration plate is used to perform white calibration for measurement of reflectance.
c Before performing white calibration, attach the target mask for calibration.
Procedure
1
. Remove the cap from the white calibration
plate.
2
.
<For contact measurements>
Press the white calibration plate flush against
the instrument with the sample holder fit
into the groove on the backside of the white
calibration plate.
<For noncontact measurements>
Attach the white calibration adapter over the
target mask, then press the white calibration
plate flush against the instrument with the
sample holder by fitting the holder into the
recess on the backside of the white calibration
plate.
Memo
• Do not forget to attach the white calibration adapter.
• Be careful not to move the white calibration plate when calibrating the instrument's white sensitivity.
Notes on Use of White Calibration Plate
Memo
• When performing white calibration, the white calibration data for the white calibration plate being used is required.
The white calibration data for the white calibration plate included with the instrument is stored in the instrument's
memory at the time of shipment.
c The white calibration plate may become discolored if left exposed to light. Therefore,
when not in use, make sure that the lid is closed to prevent exposure to light.
c Take care not to scratch, touch, or make the white calibration plate surface dirty with such as fingerprints.
c If the white calibration plate gets dirty, wipe it with a soft, clean, dry cloth.
c If dirt is difficult to remove, dampen a cloth with commercially available lens cleaning liquid and wipe
the white calibration plate. Then wipe off the liquid with a cloth dampened with water, and leave the plate
to dry.Should the white calibration plate get so dirty that it cannot be cleaned, replace the plate with a
new one. If the White Calibration Plate is changed, reset the white calibration data to the new plate's.
Updating White Calibration Data
c You may the "Data Setting Tool software" stored on the CD-ROM accompanying White Calibration Plate
CM-A24 or the optional Color Data Software SpectraMagic DX to set the white calibration data.
<For contact measurements>
<For noncontact measurements>
