When using the color meter, you can choose between different color spaces (CIE LAB, XYZ, LCh, RGB, LUV). In addition, the item comes with two different measuring apertures (Ø6mm and Ø10 mm). After a measurement, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the individual color space coordinates, the deviation between the reading is also displayed. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCIE LAB, XYZ, LCh, RGB, LUV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewhite calibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edetermination of reference values and samples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eexchangeable measuring apertures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003erechargeable lithium-ion battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esuitable for many different surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eeasy to use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincl.
