Sample Preview Method 

The instrument has three sample preview methods: 

Sample Door 

This method enables you to open the sample door and look at the sample position in the viewport. 
You can make manual adjustments if necessary to obtain optimum sample alignment. Refer to the 
instructions on using the Sample Door Preview Method. 
 

External Video Monitor Feature 

This method requires an external preview video monitor. The monitor is plugged into the video 
connector located on the back of the instrument. After the monitor is connected, the 

Preview

 

button on the spectrophotometer can be pushed to turn live preview video on and off. Video 
on/off is the default functionality of the 

Preview

 button when using a reflectance measurement 

mode. However, your software application may assign a different behavior to the button for 
various reasons. 
 

Live Preview Video in PC Software Application 

This method requires a software application, such as Color iQC to provide a means to view video 
within the application. Follow the instructions in your application to preview video for sample 
alignment. 

Note:

 DO NOT power down the instrument into “Standby” mode when preview video is actively 

streaming in the application. Doing so may result in an unstable operation condition. 

Front Panel 

The front panel is used to initiate measurements and also indicate a variety of instrument 
conditions, such as calibration status, measurement status, etc. Below is description for each 
indicator and button.
