FEASA 2-I/3-I LED ANALYSERS Introduction The Feasa 3 Channel LED Analyser is a module used in a test process to test the Colour, Saturation(whiteness) and Intensity of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Light from the LEDs is guided through flexible Fiber-Optic Light Guides to the Analyser where the Colour, Saturation and Intensity are tested.
FEASA 2-I/3-I LED ANALYSERS Colour Figure 1: Hue (Colour) Wheel 0° GREEN 120° BLUE 240° Colours can represented by a 360° degree circular Colour wheel. The three Primary RGB values can also be represented as a single value called Hue.

FEASA 2-I/3-I LED ANALYSERS The RGB and Hue values in Figure 2 show how different Colour LEDs can be identified. SATURATION 100% Green Blue Yellow Orange White Figure 2 The RGB or Hue values are used to identify different Colour LEDs.
FEASA 2-I/3-I LED ANALYSERS Intensity The Feasa 3 Channel Analyzer measures the intensity of LED light in relative units of luminous intensity. This means that Intensity will have a value between 1,000 and 100,000. The Analyzer outputs measured intensity through the ICT port as a square wave with frequency in the range 1kHz to 100kHz.
FEASA 2-I/3-I LED ANALYSERS White LED's White LED's must be treated differently to Coloured LED's when being tested. White is not a Colour – it is a mix of all other Colours. The three Primary Colours Red, Green and Blue will be mixed in approximately equal proportions to display a White Colour.
