Ruggedly constructed, the CR-100 Colorimetry Research CR-100 Tristimulus Colorimeter/Photometer from SpectraCal features a machined aluminum and stainless-steel housing, and it can withstand high acceleration rates for the most demanding motion positioning systems and environments. All optical components are fixed to ensure that no optical misalignments occur due to vibration, shock, or high acceleration/ deceleration rates.
The CR-100 is completely solid-state with no mechanical shutter or moving parts to ensure high reliability and long MTBF. It weighs only 12 oz and is the perfect tool for display inspection or for mounting on fast-moving XYZ tables. Its small size and shape allow for several instruments to be mounted on the same motion control system and the simultaneous measurement of several spots in the same display.
- Compact and Rugged
- Constructed using machined aluminum and stainless steel and weighs only 12 oz. It is completely solid-state with no mechanical shutter or moving parts.
- Accurate Filters
- Each CR-100 goes through a strict quality control process. Every tristimulus filter is measured using a double monochromator to verify that the f1’ error is within the maximum f1' errors guaranteed.
- Large Spot Size
- The measurement spot size is 23mm at the end of the rubber hood and 31.7mm at 100mm from the end of the hood.
- Fast Captures
- The fastest measurement exposure time is 1 ms.
- Display Flicker Measurements
- The CR-100 uses proprietary hardware and software for the fast sampling of display luminance to compute flicker levels (or modulation amplitude) and dominant flicker frequency components.
- Response Time Measurements
- The temporal captures at the user-selectable sampling rate of the CR-100 are suitable for analyzing response time as specified by the Information Display Measurements Standard (IDMS).
- Four-Color Matrix Method Support
- The Four-Color Matrix Method, developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) improves the accuracy of tristimulus colorimeters for measurements of color displays.The meter can store up to 20 profiles, enabling specific display technology to be perfectly matched.
- Match Calibration
- The match calibration method, allows the colorimeter to be correctly matched to a reference instrument.
The CR-100 comes standard with a built-in, easy-to-learn, English language command interpreter to control all aspects of their operation via a computer, tablet, or smart device, making it easy for users to create their own software dedicated to perform specific measurement tasks or for inclusion in an Automated Test Environment.
In addition, a fully documented communication language with numerous real-world, sample templates is included as starting points for customers to build their own software tools using any of the modern computer development environments. LabVIEW driver is available upon request.
The Colorimeter Utility is an accompanying tool that aids in updating, preserving, and recovering the state of the instrument. It is also used to define a color correction based on the Four-Color Matrix Method Correction.
