The CS-200 is designed to measure both luminance and chromaticity with high accuracy. It is a low cost option that is easy to use and features a new auto mode for determining measurement speed according the luminance of the subject being measured.

It can measure any light source over a wide range of luminance levels from 0.01 cd/m2 to 20,000,000 cd/m2. The selectable measuring angle feature enables the user to select the optimum angle of 1°, 0.2°, or 0.1° based on the application.

The CS-200 is lightweight and battery powered for optimum portability. Data management software CS-S10w is included as a standard accessory. The software enables the user to easily view and manage measurement data. Up to 101 measurement values can be stored in addition to 20 reference values.

Operating temperature/humidity range
0°C to 40°C, relative humidity 85% or less (at 35°C) with no condensation
Storage temperature /humidity range
0°Cto 45°C,relative humidity 85% or less (at 35°C)with no condensation

#1 23°C±2C Lv = 0.01-10 cd/m2, SLOW, average of 30 measurements Lv = 10 cd/m2 and higher, SLOW, average of 10 measurements

#2 At 0.2°measuring angle, the amount of received light is approx. 1/25 of that for 1°.
Therefore, the repeatability becomes the same as that for 1°with 25 times lower luminance.
At 0.1°measuring angle, the amount of received light is approx. 1/100 of that for 1°.
Therefore, the repeatability becomes the same as that for 1°with 100 times lower luminance.

TelevisionInfo.Com: Testing HDTV's
Like all of the websites in the Reviewed.com family, at Televisioninfo.com we test HDTVs using a rigorous set of scientific methods, using the same tools and techniques that the manufacturers themselves use to test their own products. Rather than just looking at an ad hoc set images and videos on the screen, we perform an in-depth quantitative analysis using advanced instrumentation and professional tools that look at the performance of the HDTV, determining how the display produces on-screen images in extreme detail.
