Measuring/Editing a Color Reference

The reference function is used to enter color reference

data into the instrument using a sequence or match

method. Up to 16 references can be stored and accessed in

the instrument. Color reference values are then compared

to color measurements and the difference displayed.

To measure a reference:

1. If not selected, press the Tab Up key $ or Tab Down

key @ to highlight Reference and press Enter key #.

NOTE: Reference will not appear in the measurement list unless

COLOR–REF01 is selected as the active color mode. Refer to Color

Measurement Mode earlier in this section.

2. Press the Tab Up key $ to move highlight to the

reference measurement method (Seq or Match).

• The Sequence (Seq) method automatically

increments the reference location as you measure.

For example, when the highlight is on Ref 01, and a

measurement is taken, the data is set for reference

one and the highlight advances to Ref 02. This

occurs for all reference measurements taken.

• The Match method is used to update an existing

reference. The measurement automatically replaces

data in the location that has the closest match (lowest

ΔE) to the measurement.
