The portable Konica Minolta color meters are in their element when not only the brightness but also the color of light is to be measured. The wide selection offers the appropriate instrument for every application, from the simple tristimulus unit up to a spectroradiometer with spectral lenses.
The CS-100A is a portable, non-contact digital tristimulus colorimeter featuring a spot, SLR (single-lens reflex) design for remote measurement of luminance and chromaticity.
Main Features
Fully mobile and portable
In addition to a compact body, the CS-100A benefits from a lightweight 890g design (not including batteries). As a portable, battery-powered device, it can be freely carried to any location where measurements are to be made.
Measurements are made entirely without contact.
The single-lens-reflex design allows objects in the viewfinder to be brought into focus so that accurate measurements may be made from any remote location within the measurement range.
Converts the color of the indicated area to numerical values
The color of the viewed object inside the measuring area can be measured quickly without the influence of outside areas.
Support for measurement of extremely small surfaces
With its small acceptance angle, the CS-100A can support measurement diameters down to 14.4mm (at a distance of 1,014mm); furthermore, when an optional close-up lens is attached, support can be extended to measurement diameters as small as 1.3mm (at a distance of 209mm).
Two-way RS-232C communication
Featuring an RS-232C interface as standard, this luminance meter can connect with a PC to send measurement data and receive control signals.
Color-difference measurement
Once a target color has been set (by direct numerical input or measurement), color-difference measurements can be made to conveniently perform color management.
Calibration to a user reference for reduced error
The CS-100A can be calibrated to user reference light sources to enable differences in displayed values in the vicinity of a specific color to be eliminated when using multiple devices.
Support for remote control and data processing
When connected with a DP-101 Data Processor (sold separately), this Incident Color Meter can be used to carry out data processing activities such as the printing of measurement values, automatic measurement, and statistical calculations.
