Thank you for purchasing the Eoptis' CLM-194, a handheld digital tristimulus colorimeter. The CLM-194 is a handheld
compact device for colorimetric detection with a reliability higher than human eye and at a competitive price. Colour
measurements can be performed on the surface of a wide range of matte and glossy materials, thanks to a
(45°c:0°)
measurement geometry and the very uniform illumination provided by integrated LEDs. Long-term stability reduces
the need of calibration by the user. The device is powered and interfaced through a USB port using a standard PC or
laptop with a Microsoft Windows operating system.
After having performed the measurement of the sample of interest, the application software allows you to:
evaluate the colour difference from a reference patch, to determine whether a sample is within a user-defined
acceptance limit
classify samples among a set of selected colours, in order to group them in classes with homogeneous colour
and improve uniformity
find the best match of the sample, looking up a colour database to reproduce the measured colour.
The colour database is encoded in software, avoiding the use of bulky physical sample libraries. Colour sets such as
RAL are included as standard and a custom or application-specific colour database can be added by the user or with
Eoptis's support on request.
