b)  Standard Entering 

In some cases, it’s needed to measure color difference under a saved standard. 
Then, you can select “Record” in main menu to enter standard sample records 
interface.  You  can  search  the  needed  standard data  through  “Up”  and  “Down”. 
After finding it, press “Menu” button, and then the standard record is entered to 
the m

easurement interface, press “Enter”, you can perform sample measurement 

under this standard. 

 

c)  Sample Record Entered to a Standard 

In some cases, it’s needed to use a stored sample as a standard. Then, you can 
select “Record” to enter sample records interface, as shown in Figure 15. You can 
search the needed sample data through “Up” and “Down”. After finding it, press 
“Menu”  button,  and  then  the  sample  record  is  entered  to  the  measurement 
interface as a standard, press “Enter”, you can perform the color measurement 
under this standard. 

 

2.  Calibration 

After  turning  on 200 

colorimeter, press “MENU” to enter the main menu, as 

shown in Figure 13. Select “Calibrate” to enter manual white calibration and black 
calibration interface, as shown in Figure 16. 

 

Be  sure  the  white  calibration  cover  is  well  installed  on  the  instrument.  Select 
“White Calibration” and press “Enter” button, the interface will prompt you to put 
away the white calibration cover, then press “enter” again or press “Testing” key 
to  perform  white  calibration.  Before  performing  black  calibration,  be  sure  the 
white calibration cover has been removed. Select “Black Calibration” and press
