CM-700d Portable Spectrophotometer
The CM-700d spectrophotometer effectively measures the color of an object using a range of user-friendly functions. The handheld instrument is ergonomically designed to fit your hand comfortably and features a color LCD screen. Abundant information is displayed on the screen such as spectral graphs, pseudocolor, and color difference graphs.
Measured colors can also be reproduced as color patches on the screen. This is useful in for checking the level of color difference or to search for colors. The CM-700d is easy to use with dedicated buttons for frequently-used operations such as call up menus or target colors. The menu-driven display allows anyone to operate the unit intuitively.
This instrument is portable and Bluetooth compatible, so all information can be communicated wirelessly to a PC or printer. The unit also contains a large memory capacity, which has the ability to store 1,000 sets of target data and 4,000 sets of measurement data.
This instrument is compatible with SpectraMagic NX software which is easy-to-use and displays multiple views of data results which can be edited. Target data of the primary target can be associated to two or more secondary targets, allowing for sophisticated QC applications, such as checking for color difference.
Users can drag-and-drop information into the software for easy interpretation after printing. A variety of graphs can be used to display information, preconfigured templates are available, and a status window is available to show instrument information at a glance. Data compiled with older software is compatible and can be transferred to the newest updated software. If Excel is needed to show data, the information can also be easily exported. A Navigation Function and Color Tutorial are included with the software for additional information.
