Fast, small-format photometers for production testing of displays, devices, and surfaces.
ProMetric® Y is a series of performance imaging photometers designed for high-volume production testing of displays, keyboards, lighting products, device components, and surfaces. ProMetric Y imaging photometers combine scientific-grade image sensors with photopic filters that capture values of light that reflect standard human visual perception of brightness according to CIE functions. This combination enables you to apply the visual sensitivity of your users while leveraging the benefits of automation—speed, repeatability, and reduced cost—for production-level inspection.
ProMetric Y is available in a range of high-resolution sensor options. These sensors enable pixel-level measurements of displays (LCD, OLED, microLED), evaluation of virtual projections at variable distances and fields of view (head-up displays, augmented reality), and accurate measurement of luminance across light-emitting components.

Features
ProMetric Y Family
The ProMetric® Y family of rugged, small-form-factor imaging photometers is optimized to test displays, keyboards, assemblies, and cosmetic surfaces in high-volume production settings. The sophisticated measurement performance of this photometer combined with configurable analysis software and local engineering expertise delivers a complete production test solution.
The ProMetric® Y delivers reliable test results and analysis to improve quality and control costs:
- Faster measurements deliver shorter cycle times
- Objective quantification is superior to subjective human inspection
- Faster, more accurate test analysis improves yield
High-Resolution, Scientific-Grade Image Sensors
Each ProMetric Y Imaging Photometer employs a scientific-grade image sensor that is optimized for low image noise to provide accurate, repeatable measurements. ProMetric cameras are designed to maximize resolution and dynamic range to ensure imaging performance. ProMetric Y supports high-speed USB and Ethernet communications.
Available resolutions:
- 16-megapixel (5312 x 3032)
- 45-megapixel (8192 x 5460)
- 61-megapixel (9568 x 6380)
Delivering Smart Technology™ Innovations
- Smart Control™ for fast, precise setup: Smart Control allows you to electronically adjust both focus and aperture settings of your lens.
- Smart Calibration™ for automatic high-accuracy results: ProMetric cameras offer a variety of electronically controlled lenses, each calibrated over a wide range of working distances and aperture settings. ProMetric systems monitor focal distance and aperture settings and automatically applies the correct flat field calibration, greatly simplifying setup and ensuring accurate measurement results.
Calibrations
For highly accurate color and light measurements that match values perceived by the human eye, Radiant cameras and lenses are calibrated to obtain absolute data in any environment. Factory calibration procedures are performed on each Radiant camera to enable traceability to national standards such as NRL, ETL, PTB, and NIST.
Each Radiant camera and lens pair can also be calibrated for unique applications, in the factory or in the field, ensuring consistency regardless of variation in:
- Focal Distance: Flat-field calibration; Image scaling
- Device Spectral Power Distribution (SPD): Luminance calibration; Color calibrations, such as one-color calibration, four-color calibration (depending on RGB or single-color emitters); LED and white phosphor LED calibration
- Lensing effects: Distortion calibration (if applicable)
Key Features and Highlights
- High Speed: Minimum measurement time (photopic) as fast as 0.5 seconds
- High-resolution sensor options
- Available in photometric and radiometric models
- Multiple lens options: 24 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm R, 100 mm, and 200 mm
- ProMetric control and analysis software is standard. TrueTest™ Automated Visual Inspection Software and other software modules optional.
ProMetric software includes API support, and provides complete measurement control and Point-of-Interest/Region-of-Interest functionality. In addition, the ProMetric Y imaging photometers are backed by the industry’s best product warranty, including direct access to the Radiant Vision Systems technical support team to maximize the utility of your application. For automated testing, ProMetric Y is optimized to work with the industry-leading TrueTest Software—and specialized software modules—for high-volume manufacturing of displays, smartphones, notebooks and more.
