Scan Speed Indication
The right side of the screen provides feedback on your scanning speed. Scanning the color bar too fast or too
slow for an extended period of time may produce inaccurate measurement results. Always try to maintain a
steady scanning speed as much as possible for best results. The following text descriptions are displayed during
a scan.
Just Right (green):
Indicates the correct speed is being used.
Too Slow (blue):
Indicates the scan speed is too slow and needs to be increased.
Too Fast (red):
Indicates the scan speed is too fast and needs to be reduced.
NOTE
: Ideal scan speed depends on the aperture size of the instrument and the size of the measured patches.
Color Bar/Patch Screen Details
