• This manual explains the measurement preparation procedure, specimen setting procedure, and other
procedures for measurement with the CM-36dG/36d.
• Control is performed and measurement is executed from the computer connected to the instrument by using
the optional SpectraMagic NX (CM-S100w) color data software.
• For the measurement procedure using SpectraMagic NX (CM-S100w), refer to the CM-S100w instruction manual.
Flow of Measurement
Measurement Procedure
Launching the software
Launch SpectraMagic NX (CM-S100w) and enable control.
Power ON
Turn the instrument power ON. (P.20)
Starting the computer
Turn ON the power of the connected computer.
(Start Windows.)
Installing the target mask
Install the target mask to use for
measurement. (P.21)
Install the target mask for LAV
(ø25.4 mm) measurement and the
white calibration plate. (P.24)
Executing zero calibration
(0% calibration)
Install the zero calibration box
and execute zero calibration.
(P.23)
Install the transmittance zero
calibration plate and execute
0% calibration. (P.26)
Executing white calibration
(100% calibration)
* When using WAA (Wavelength Analysis &
Adjustment), execute it after white calibration.
WAA execution requires approximately 20 seconds.
Install the white calibration
plate and execute white
calibration. (P.24)
Execute 100% calibration using
an empty chamber or distilled
water. (P.27)
Executing gloss calibration
(

)
Install the gloss calibration plate and
execute gloss calibration. (P.25)
Setting a specimen
Set the specimen into the instrument. (P.28)
Power OFF
After measurement is completed, turn the instrument power OFF. (P.20)
Exit SpectraMagic NX (CM-S100w) and turn the computer power OFF.
Connecting to the computer
Use the USB cable to connect the instrument and computer. (P.19)
Connecting the AC adapter
