2.4 Measurement
To begin measurement, use one of the several methods available, as shown below.
Normal measurement:
Trigger the CS-S10w software to take a measurement and obtain the sample data.
Interval measurement:
Once the measurement operation is started from the CS-S10w, measurement is repeated the pre-
defined number of times at the pre-defined time interval. You can receive sample data every time the
measurement is performed.
The interval measurement is available only in Normal Mode under Light-source Color.
Averaging measurement:
Trigger the CS-S10w software once to begin measurement. After the specified number of measure-
ments has been taken, the collected sample data is averaged to obtain one piece of sample data.
In Normal Mode under Light-source Color, you can use either the interval measurement or averag-
ing measurement, or both.
Averaged measurement:
Select averaged measurement mode. Take repeated measurements for the desired number of times
and exit the mode. The sample data collected during the period is averaged to obtain one piece of
sample data. The manual averaging measurement is the function available only for normal mode
light-source color measurement and object color measurement.
Measurement with instrument key:
Perform measurement by pressing the measuring button of the instrument. The CS-S10w software
receives the sample data.
The measurement with instrument key is available only in Normal Mode under Light-source Color.
In addition to the normal mode, light-source color measurement offers various modes in order to com-
bine a series of measurements to obtain a single piece of sample data. The measurement flow, listed
items and data management method vary depending on the mode.
The mode can be specified by selecting the document type in the Welcome to CS-S10w dialog box.
Contrast Mode:
This mode measures two points of white and black and obtains a single piece of sample data from
the two pieces of data. This mode is used to calculate the contrast of the data for white based on the
data for black in terms of white Lv/black Lv. (page 58)
RGB Mode:
This mode measures three points of red, green and blue and then obtains a single piece of sample
data from the three pieces of data. This mode is used to calculate the area on the chromaticity dia-
gram from the data for red, green and blue. (page 60)
RGB & Contrast Mode:
This mode measures five points of white, black, red, green and blue and then obtains a single piece
of sample data from the five pieces of data. This mode is used to calculate the contrast of the data for
white, red, green and blue respectively based on the data for black. It also calculates the area on the
chromaticity diagram from the data for red, green and blue. (page 62)
The light-source color measurement offers another option for Multi-Point measurement. It can be spec-
ified by selecting a number of points in the Welcome to CS-S10w dialog box.
Multi-point measurement is the measurement flow to obtain sample data as many as the number of
points by sequentially measuring several points on the target. Color variations (Non-Uniformity) can be
calculated from the obtained sample data. (page 64)
Note that the interval measurement is disabled when the multi-point measurement is selected.
