Select “Tolerance” in main menu as shown in Figure 18. Click the virtual keyboard to input 
tolerance. Then click “OK” to save the settings and back to main menu.

Figure 18 Tolerance Setting 

 

Tolerance is set by users according to their color management requirements. The instrument 
will judge whether the color difference 

ΔE is qualified or not. If ΔE is less than tolerance, the 

sample color is qualified. If 

ΔE is greater than tolerance, then sample color is unqualified.
