Tab Down key
– advances the highlighted bar (reverse
image) to the next available “tab stop.” A “tab stop”
indicates an item that can be acted on further, such as a
measurement or a setting option. Tab stops generally
follow a left-to-right or top-to-bottom sequence. When the
last tab stop is reached, the next key press returns to the
first tab stop in that menu's list. The key is also used to
select alpha/numeric characters in the edit mode.
$
Tab Up key
– performs the same function as the Tab
Down key except in reverse order. Tab stops follow a
right-to-left or bottom-to-top sequence.
#
Enter key
– activates the highlighted item. If the item can
be set on or off, pressing the key toggles the option
between on and off. When entering an active mode from
the main menu, the active mode is displayed with the
highlight on the first required operation in the mode.
!
Escape key
– backs up the instrument screen one menu level.
For example, if an option or value is being modified at the
time the key is pressed, the edits are aborted and the previous
screen or menu appears. The only exception to this is when
the Enter key is used to toggle an option. In this case, the
Escape key exits the menu without aborting the setting.
%
Main Menu key
– returns the instrument screen to the main
menu. This is a quick exit out of any mode. If any option or
value is being modified at the time the key is pressed, the
edits are aborted and the previous setting reinstated.
Read
key
– if activated in configuration, initiates a reading
when pressed.
Refer to Configuring the Instrument for
additional information.
Measurement Screens
The QA, Analyze, Compare, Strength, and Opacity
measurement screens consist of three main areas: Data Storage
Information, Color Data Parameters, and Color Data.
QA Mode
The QA measurement mode can be used in conjunction with a
quality assurance software package, such as X-Rite’s,
X-RiteColor® Master program (SP62 and SP64 only). Projects
and standards are downloaded to the instrument and sample
measurement pass/fail comparisons are performed.
