Operational Considerations Between a DTP32R and a DTP32HS
The DTP 32HS is a “drop in replacement” for the X-Rite DTP32R (R for reflective) strip
reading densitometer.
There are a few differences in
operation of the DTP32HS
compared to the DTP32. The DTP32
(see diagram at right) has a
display, keyboard, and strip guide.
The DTP34HS does not. In order to
use the DTP34HS product where a
software application expects the
DTP32 product, please consider the
following.
Operation
Below we list some of the ways that the use of the instruments will differ. The items in italic
are phrases often indicated in the host software for the DTP32R.
• Use of the strip guide – Insert strip at X
The DTP32R has a strip guide mechanism that ranged numerically from 5 to 30. Some
software packages indicate a setting for this guide. These prompts can be ignored with the
DTP32HS as no guide is required.
• Using the keyboard – Push Key #X
The DTP32R has four keys to control the menus found on the LCD. The DTP32HS does not
require unique key sequences, because it is software driven, therefore these prompts can
be ignored.
• Calibration of the instrument – Go to page 2 to Calibrate
The DTP32HS can be calibrated without using menus, as is required for the DTP32 product.
A calibration can be initiated like any other reading. Please see the calibration section in the
manual for a full explanation.
