Lesson 12: Averaging Readings
Suppose you are measuring a sample, such as corduroy, which is very directional. You’ve decided that
the best way to measure it, taking its directionality into account, is to make four readings of the sample,
rotating the fabric 90° between readings so that the instrument looks at it from all directions. The four
readings will be averaged into the final result, which you will report. Configure the averaging and read
the sample as described below.
1. Open a new job and configure its Color Data Table to display CIELAB for D65/10°. You may
configure the other parameters however you like.
2. Open the Measurements menu and select Average so that it is checked.
3. Open the Options menu and select Average Method . The Average Method screen appears.
4. In the Display Method area, click the radio button next to Scale and choose CIELAB as the Scale
Type and D65/10 as the Illuminant/Observer. This ensures that the data shown on the Average
Reading screen uses the same parameters you are displaying in your Color Data Table.
