Light Source Colorimeter

Source: Konica Minolta Sensing Americas, Inc.
The CS-100A is a compact, lightweight tristimulus colorimeter for non-contact measurements of light sources and emissive displays. The 1 acceptance angle and TTL (through-the-lens) viewing system enable accurate targeting of the subject. The NEW CS-100A is equipped with 2-WAY RS232 Communication making it easy to operate the CS-100A from your computer, in addition to being able to download from the CS-100A into your computer. The optional Data Processor DP-101 offers additional memory channels for calibration standards and target colors, data printout, statistical calculations, RS-232 interface, and timer-controlled measurements.
2-Way RS-232C Communication
Operate the CS-100A from a PC and/or download data from the CS-100A into your computer.

Compact and Lightweight

Measurements of Subjects at a Distance
SLR (single-lens-reflex) viewing system and flare-free optical system provide accurate measurements of subjects at a distance with virtually no influence from light outside the measurement area.

Measurements of Small Subjects
1° measurement angle allows measurements of subjects as small as ø14.4mm (at a subject distance of 1014mm); by using optional close-up lenses, subjects as small as ø1.3mm can be measured.

Color difference measurements
Calibration to a user-selected reference
Luminance units of cd/m2 or fL can be selected
Applications

Light-source measurements
Luminance and chromaticity of small light sources such as LEDs, miniature neon lamps, etc.; luminance and chromaticity of general light sources such as tungsten lamps, fluorescent lamps, etc.; luminance and chromaticity of traffic signals, airport guidance lights, emergency exit signs, etc.

Reflective-subject measurements
Color measurements of subjects which cannot be measured by contact methods, such as distant building walls, just-painted surfaces, subjects with complicated shapes, or subjects which should not be touched for sanitary reasons.

Display measurements
Luminance and chromaticity of color TVs, CRTs, projection systems, LCD's, front & rear video projection & video walls.

Features of DP-101
When DP-101 is used with the CS-100A, measured values can be calculated in terms of Yxy, L*a*b*, Yu'v', color temperature, and distance from blackbody locus uv for absolute color values and in terms of (Yxy), (L*a'b'), E*ab, (Yu'v'), and u'v' for color difference.

Additional Color Notations

Data Storage and Printout
The DP-101 has memory space for up to 300 sets of measurement data and a built-in thermal printer for printing out data either at the time of measurement or from memory at a later time.
