PCE CSM 1 Color Meter

Highlights:

• PC software included
• Li-ion battery
• 3 different color spaces
• Determines reference values to compare to samples
• White and black calibration

The PCE CSM 1 Color Meter is a handheld unit and was developed for quality control. It offers a high accuracy and ease of use. When using the color meter, you can choose between different color spaces (CIE L*a*b*C*h, CIE L*a*b* and CIE XYZ). 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.

In 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.
