Measurement

To perform measurement, you need to switch from a screen in which “BREAK” is displayed to the meas-

urement screen.

To perform measurement, follow the procedure given below:

N

ote

• Prior to start of measurement, be sure to perform white calibration. For details, refer to “White Calibration” (page E-46).
• To measure color difference, it is necessary to set target colors first and then select the one to be used for measurement.
• For accurate measurement, make sure to keep measurement conditions (ambient temperature etc.) constant.

[Operating Procedure]

1

Turn 

B

 to select “BREAK”, then press 

A

.

• Example for <COND1> screen.
• “T*” is the number of the color difference target data for the next 

measurement. If nothing is selected, “T---” appears.

• “T*” does not appear if “defined in COND.” mode is selected.

2

Place the specimen measuring port to the specimen.

•  If necessary, slide the viewfinder lever to check the position of the specimen.

3

Make sure that 

 is displayed, then press 

C

 (MEAS. button).

The lamp will flash, measurement 
will be taken, then the result will ap-
pear on the LCD.

• Example when “DIFF&ABS” is selected as the display mode.
