Atec DP-100 User Manual
DATA PROCESSOR DP-100
This compact, multi-function processor connects with Minolta Chroma Meters
to provide such features as data storage, statistical calculation, and timer operation.
The unit also increases the number of color spaces available for data readout.
Main features
•
Very portable for convenient use
The DP-100's compact size and cordless operation
(powered by six AA-size batteries) allows it to be
taken virtually anywhere color measurements are
needed. For extended use without battery rechargi
ng, an optional AC adapter is also available,
enabling the data processor to be run from an
ordinary AC outlet.
•
LCD display and printout capability
Measurements are displayed on an LCD panel
which is adjustable for easy viewing from any angle.
A thermal-dot printer is also built in to enable data
printout automatically or at the touch of a button.
•
Readings in four color-space notations
With the DP-100 connected to a Minolta Chroma
Meter, two more color spaces, L'C"H° and
Munsell, are added to those selectable on the meter
alone. Chromaticity readings can be expressed in
coordinates for Yxy, L*a*b*, L*C*H°, and Munsell
systems; color-difference readings are shown in
terms of A(Yxy), n(L*a*b*), 0(L*C*H*), and AE.
Displayed data can be converted from one space to
another with push-button ease, and the unit can be
set to automatically print out values for all spaces
with each measurement.
•
Data storage with memory backup
The built-in memory stores up to 300 sets of
measurements, and a battery backup system is included to maintain stored data even when power is
off.
•
Statistical calculations
A microprocessor enables calculation and display of
the maximum, minimum, mean, and standard
deviation of ail data in the memory or on a selected
page. The unit can also be set to automatically print
out the statistics after each measurement.
•
Automatic measurement at user-selected intervals
Using the built-in timer, readings can be taken automatically at intervals up to 99 minutes long (selected
i
n minutes and seconds). With the proper settings, it
i
s also possible to have timer measurements
displayed, stored, and printed out in hardcopy.
∎
Calibration standards
Values for four separate calibration standards can
be input to the memory for easy access and
optimum accuracy when evaluating the color of
objects with different chromaticity.
•
Memory space for up to 17 target colors
The memory can hold up to 17 sets of color
coordinates for use as target colors in colordifference measurements. A special temporary
target channel permits quick memory input for
applications where target colors are used briefly and
then changed.
Data output terminal
•
The DP-100's data output terminal (RS-232C) allows
the unit to function as an intelligent terminal for
a computer-controlled color-monitoring system.
