To perform and document quality control, it is often necessary to save
the measured data on a PC.
2.6.1 PlateQuality software
The PlateQuality software stores, visualizes, and documents both
individual measurements and plate characteristic curve measurements.
This gives the operator a saved, visual dot reference to refer back to
when needed. Both measurement values and plate images are stored in
a database.
2.6.2 Capture Tool software
The Capture Tool software enables you to transfer the measured data
and binary images to your PC and to copy these into a given program
(e.g. word processor, spreadsheet). The screen dot as well as the
associated measurement values will be transferred and can then be
used for statistical analysis. This software is an ideal tool for
documenting measuring results.
2.6.3 iCPlate2 Target
The iCPlate2 Target is a long-term stable absolute reference. You can use
the iCPlate2 Target to test the device for its exactness, to carry out an
upgrade and if necessary to calibrate it.
The reference plate used by X-Rite is an extremely precise cut
glass substrate that is metal vaporized and, as is usual in
semi-conductor manufacturing, etched out. It is embedded in gray
plastic. The reference plate has a lifetime of two years. The expiration
date and the serial number are printed on the label.
