1. CHARACTERISTICS
The SONOPAN LMC-10 contact luminance meter is designed for the luminance
measurement of the self-luminescent surfaces such as monitor matrices, TV sets,
negatoscopes, reading panels, etc. The meter ensures the accurate measurement,
regardless of the spatial distribution of the measured luminance and the backlight
system of the surface being tested.
It is indispensable for the control of the medical
imaging monitors and negatoscopes.
Its unique optical and measurement systems in
combination with the advanced algorithms of the measured signal processing guarantee
high accuracy and repeatability of measurements.
Owing to its technical parameters, the LMC-10 meter is classified as a
class A
meter
according to DIN 5032-7 and TC-2.2 CIE.
The meter consists of the measurement probe cooperating directly with the
SONOPAN P-200 control unit and with the SONOPAN RF-200C and the USB with a PC or
a tablet. The measurement probe is equipped with the multifunctional key that is used
to trigger a measurement, save results and operate the chosen measurement procedure
e.g. to test the reproduction of the grayscale of monitors according to DICOM GSDF

function. The function of the key can be dependent on the running application of the
control unit.

1.2. CONFIGURATION
The SONOPAN P-200 control unit or the RF200C software can be used to control the
LMC-10 contact luminance meter and read the measured values. In the former case, the
probe is connected directly to the control panel while in the latter case, it is attached to
the USB 2.0 port with the use of the RF-200C interface. As far as PCs are concerned, it is
required to use Windows XP or higher. As for tablets, they should be equipped with
Windows 10. The RF200C does not work yet with such systems as Windows CE, Android
or iOS.
