Language
This option is used to set the language that is displayed on the instrument during operation.
To set the language, tap
Language
and then tap the desired language.
Data Mode
This option is used to select basic, averaging, or SMC measurement mode.
1. To access, tap Data Mode.
2.
Tap the desired data mode on the screen to save and exit the option.
One Shot:
This option only requires one measurement for a job.
Average:
This option is used to set the number of measurements required for calculating an averaged job
result. Measurements are taken at different locations recommended to average sample variations. However, the
instrument allows you to measure multiple times on the same spot without having to lift the instrument, in case
the sample variation averaging is not of interest.
SMC m:n
(Statistical Measurement Control) is a method of performing a statistical analysis of several
measurements to determine the quality of the measurements and/or the sample, before an average value is
calculated. A statistical analysis of the measurements' mean and standard deviations eliminates outliers and
determines the variability of the measurements. The number of required measurements (5) along with the
maximum number of measurements (12) that can be taken to achieve an average value. These values are the
default settings and cannot be changed. This method is recommended to limit the risks of using an incorrect
measurement.
Colorimetry
This option is used to select illumination
, observer angle
, data mode
, and color space
.
1. To access, tap Colorimetry.
2.
Tap
illumination, observer angle, data mode or color space icon.
3.
Tap desired option on the screen to save and exit the option.
Illumination:
This option is used to select D65 (default) or D50 for the illumination.
Observer Angle:
This option is used to select 2° or 10° (default) as the observer angle.
Data Mode:
This option applies legacy profiling MA94 (default), MA-T, BYKmac, or No Legacy.
WARNING:
The data mode should not be changed by an unexperienced user. It is strongly recommended that
the administrator contact X-Rite application support before changing the data mode on the device. There is a
risk of data inconsistency if the user accidentally selects the data mode on the device which is different from the
data mode applied by the software.
