PCE Instruments CSM 1 Handheld Portable Digital Colorimeter
# CSM 1
- CIE L*a*b*C*h, L*a*b* and XYZ
- Automatic white and black calibration
- Determines reference values to compare to samples
- Measuring of different colors
- Suitable for many different surfaces
- 8°/d geometry diffused illumination integrating sphere system illuminates sample from 8-degree angle
- The handheld portable digital colorimeter PCE-CSM 1 was developed for quality control and offers a high accuracy. When using the colorimeter, you can choose between different color spaces (CIE L*a*b*C*h, CIE L*a*b* and CIE XYZ). After a measurement with the colorimeter, the reading can be used as a reference value while other readings can be recorded as a sample and later be compared to the reference value easily.
- In addition to the individual color space coordinates, the deviation between the reading is also displayed. When using the colorimeter, it is possible to store up to 100 reference values and up to 20,000 samples on the device. The measured data can also be transferred to a PC via the USB interface. A special PC software is included in the package.
