1.6 Intended Use

The instrument is designed to measure color, gloss and fluorescence on dif-
ferent surfaces. Via the integrated camera the current spot on the surface
can be viewed on the display – allowing exact positioning.

By placing the base plate of the unit onto a surface and pressing either the

Operate

button on the rear side of the instrument or triggering the mea-

surement on the display, the instrument measures the surface and pro-
cesses, displays and stores the measured values.

The instrument can be connected via USB or WiFi to a computer in order to
read or write data.

A resistive display allows additional functionalities.
