It provides high accuracy and user-friendly operation. With this color meter, you can select from various color spaces (CIE L\u003cem\u003ea\u003c\/em\u003eb\u003cem\u003eC\u003c\/em\u003eh, CIE L\u003cem\u003ea\u003c\/em\u003eb*, and CIE XYZ). After taking a measurement, the result can serve as a reference value, while additional readings can be recorded as samples and easily compared to the reference value later.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the individual color space coordinates, the deviation between the reading is also displayed. It's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCIE L*a*b*C*h, L*a*b* and XYZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic white and black calibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetermines reference values to compare to samples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRechargeable Li-ion battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emeasuring of different colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for many different surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8°\/d geometry diffused illumination integrating sphere system illuminates sample from 8-degree angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncl.
