Instrument Inspection Software

To ensure proper color data management, it is important to use a highly accurate spectrophotometer as well as maintain its high measurement accuracy. This software allows daily self-diagnosis of the accuracy of the instrument. (Applicable instrument models: CM-3600d, CM-3610d, CM-2600d, CM-2500d)

Introduction

Main Features

Simple operation

You can complete inspection easily by just clicking Diagnose and measuring the white calibration plate and zero calibration box according to the instructions on the screen. You do not have to measure a dozen special tiles for inspection anymore.

No inspection tiles required

The inspection does not use a set of special tiles which require precise temperature control and cause concern regarding deterioration and flaws. The inspection is stable and there is no worry about the influence of tile condition.

Result recording

After the inspection, the result is automatically recorded in a database and can be output as a report.

Workflow

Daily self-diagnosis can be conducted easily!

1. Inspection

Zero calibration/white calibration
Simple operation

Just click Diagnose and measure the zero calibration box and white calibration plate according to the instructions on the screen.

2. Result

The result of each inspection item is shown as one of three levels (OK, Warning, NG).
LampLight intensity emitted from the xenon lamp (Decreased percentage and the number of emission events)
Optical SystemDirt accumulated on the optical system (Dirty level percentage)
Wavelength shiftShift in the wavelength due to vibration, change in ambient temperature, and impact. (Shift*, color-difference simulation)
*Shift is indicated with a numeric value (nm) when the result is Warning or NG.
RepeatabilityRepeatability when the white calibration plate is measured 30 times in 10-second intervals. (Standard deviation: Δ E*ab)
Lens movementMovement of the lenses in the optical system (CM-3600d/3610d only)

Color difference display based on the shift in wavelength

By just registering desired color samples (up to 20 colors) once, you can monitor the color difference ΔE*ab to determine the influence of the shift in the value measured with the instrument on the sample based on the result of the wavelength shift inspection.

3. Report

Result reports can be displayed/printed.
