Using the color matching mode function keys
When you turn on the CP320, it is in the color-matching mode. The top row of labels under the
keys (SAMPLE, MATCH, and SEND) describe the color-matching mode operations. When you
press the last key in the row (MENU), the colorimeter enters the menu mode (the bottom row of
labels
−
ENTER, UP ARROW, DOWN ARROW, and ESC). The following paragraphs explain
the use of the function keys in both modes.
Note: If you are taking multiple sample readings, the final averaged reading displays in the
Color Data group box when all the readings are complete.
SAMPLE function key
The SAMPLE function key scrolls through the samples stored in the CP320 memory.
When you press the key, the display incrementally shows the next sample. For
example, if you have three samples and repeatedly press the key, the display shows
sample #1, then #2, then #3, and then #1 again.
An additional feature of the SAMPLE function key is the ability to scroll backward through the
samples. Press and hold the key to rapidly scroll backward through the samples. This is a
valuable feature, especially if you have a lot of samples. For example, suppose you have 90
samples and need sample #80. Instead of scrolling forward from sample #1 to sample #80, press
and hold the key to scroll backward from #90 to #80 (thereby scrolling through only 10 samples
instead of 80).
Note: If the color shown in the sample box in the program is different from the color source,
you may have inadvertently recalibrated the colorimeter to a color other than the white
standard. If the color in the sample box is different from what you expect to see, recalibrate the
colorimeter to the white standard.
MATCH function key
The MATCH function key scrolls through the color matches of the chosen palette. Each
color sample can have up to 20 color matches (determined in the menu mode). When
you press the key, the display incrementally shows the next-closest match to the color
sample measurement in the chosen palette. After the last match (5, 10, 15, or 20), the
display shows match one again.
SEND function key
Pressing the SEND function key downloads an individual sample and its color
matches to the computer. If you are using the colorimeter as a tethered device
(connected to the computer), the sample data is automatically sent to the ColorID
program when the sample is taken. In this case, you do not need to use the SEND
function key. If you take samples using the colorimeter as a portable device, plug the
data cable into the colorimeter and computer when you return to your shop, choose a sample
using the SAMPLE function key, then press SEND to download the sample data into the
ColorID program.
