PCE High Accuracy Color Meter - CSM 6

PCE  High Accuracy Color Meter - CSM 6

The PCE CSM 6 High Accuracy Color Meter is designed for quality control applications. This color meter allows you to select from various color spaces (CIE Lab, CIE LabCh). The readings can serve as reference values, while other measurements can be recorded as samples. Subsequent readings can then be easily compared to the reference value.
In addition to the individual color space coordinates, the deviation between the reading is also displayed. When using the color meter, 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.
