CS-1 Color Sensor

Overview

Measure the color and light output of a monitor to do a white balance alignment by using the CS-1 Color Sensor in conjunction with Quantum Data's VGM color measurement software (included).

The RGB sensor provides interactive adjustment of the object monitor. The sensor package, called a "pod," attaches to the monitor by means of a suction cup, and connects to your PC via a serial port.

Data Sheet

Features

Color and light output of a color monitor are measured to do a white balance alignment. (Figure 1)
Color measurements may be displayed in C.I.E. Yxy chromatic values or RGB offset (Delta RGB). (Figure 2)
Color temperature is continually updated for comparison to target value.
Monitor refresh rate is also measured and displayed.
Color sensor measures and compares, allowing the operator to interactively adjust. (Figure 3)
Measurements and adjustments are viewed on a single screen display.
A monochrome mode provides adjustment on single color monitors.
The sensor pod attaches to the monitor for measurement by means of an integral suction cup. The sensor pod connects to the serial port of the computer while the monitor under test is connected to Quantum Data's video card via the video connector.
A MS-Windows® 95/98, NT User Interface for operation and programming uses a virtual control panel and your mouse in conjunction with the current version 2.11 release of the 32 bit VGM software (included).
DOS library is available.
