Overview

1.1 Overview and Features

The instrument measures the centroid wavelength and radiometric quantity of laser light sources and calculates the chromaticity and photometric quantity. In addition, the target value of the radiometric quantity (each of the red, green, and blue radiometric quantities) and the tolerance of the radiometric quantity necessary to adjust the chromaticity and

photometric quantity to specied values are presented.

All of the control and display of the measurement are performed on the computer.

Highly accurate measurement dedicated for RGB lasers

The centroid wavelengths and radiometric quantities of the red, green, and blue lasers are measured simultaneously by means of the discrete centroid wavelength method*. Additionally, the highly accurate photometry and colorimetry are achieved. *: A method to measure the red, green, and blue centroid wavelengths and radiometric quantities

of the RGB laser and calculate the chromaticity and photometric quantity from the color-matching function.

The industry’s rst traceability to national standards in laser illuminance

The industry’s rst traceability to national standards in laser illuminance was achieved using a

monochromatic laser source. (As of May, 2017) It is Hioki’s original compliant, which renovates the conventional traceability to the standard lamp.

Overview

Shortening of adjustment process

When the white balance is adjusted, the target value of the radiometric quantity and the tolerance of the radiometric quantity are calculated from the measured result to contribute to shortening of the adjustment process.

Stable high-speed measurement

Various modulation frequencies (screen refresh rates) are supported to ensure stable measurement.

Measurement of centroid wavelength

In addition to the chromaticity and photometric quantity, the centroid wavelength, which is used to control the RGB laser module product itself, can be measured. In addition, the measured centroid wavelength is utilized for the quality control or production control of the RGB laser module.

Sensors suitable for the measuring object

Three types of sensors, illuminance (TM6102), luminance (TM6103), and optical power (TM6104), suitable for various measuring objects such as HMD, HUD, and projector or various measurement scenes in the production process, are prepared.

Model TM6102 RGB Laser Meter

TM6103 RGB Laser Luminance Meter

1.3 TM6103 RGB Laser Luminance Meter

The TM6103 RGB Laser Luminance Meter is a light shielding cylinder type luminance meter. The TM6103 measures the luminance at a close range of the display (example: the distance from the top end of the light shielding cylinder to the display is 10 mm). Before starting the measurement, install the TM6103 so that it is perpendicular to the display. (To measure the luminance more accurately, align the light axis of the light emitted from the display and the light axis of the TM6103.)

The light source that becomes the measuring object needs to be larger than the measurement eld

diameter of the TM6103. To perform accurate measurements, it is recommended to measure the light source that is

sufciently larger than the measurement eld diameter.

The TM6103 measures the average luminance within the measurement eld diameter in the same

way as the conventional luminance meter. When a directional light source (light source with an inconstant luminance) is measured using luminance meters with different angle-of-visibilities, the measured value that differs among them. This phenomenon occurs because the calibration light source of the luminance meter has a constant luminance area, but the measuring object does not have one.

• When the light source of the measuring object has a constant luminance area, differences in the angle-of-visibility do not affect the measured luminance value.

• The measured luminance is a value for which the angle dependency of the light source luminance is averaged by the angle-of-visibility. Therefore, when the light source of the measuring object does not have a constant luminance area, the angle-of-visibility of the luminance meter affects the measured luminance value, in principle.

To perform the measurement with excellent reproducibility, it is necessary to align the light axis of the light emitted from the display and the light axis of the luminance meter. In this case, it is recommended to use an optical bench.

The measurement settings and measurement items except for the following points are the same as

the TM6102 and TM6104. (p. 12)

• Radiometric quantity → Radiance

• Photometric quantity → Luminance

CAUTION

Removing or disassembling the light shielding cylinder may cause inaccurate measurements. (p. 8)

Never attempt to remove or disassemble the light shielding cylinder.

Model TM6104 Optical Power Meter

1.4 Model TM6104 Optical Power Meter

The TM6104 Optical Power Meter measures the power and centroid wavelength of the laser beam irradiated at the center of the detector window. When performing the measurement, you have to consider the beam diameter.

The beam diameter is dened as a maximum distance between the points in the cross section

of the beam where the optical power density is e

(JIS C6182).

Although IEC1040 adopts e

−1

as the denition of a beam diameter instead of e−2, this instrument

uses the denition of JIS C6182.

To perform accurate measurements, it is necessary to make all powers of the beam enter the detector window.

In addition, it is recommended to use a laser with a beam diameter of 3.1 mm or less so as to perform accurate measurements. This makes the diameter that is 3 times larger than the beam diameter smaller than the diameter of the detector window (= φ11.3 mm) as a guide since the beam usually has a spread.

Example: When the beam diameter is 1 mm, make the beam enter an area within 6 mm dia. from the center of the detector window.

−2

(= 0.1353) to the maximum value in the beam

However, this does not apply when the beam has no spread.

The measurement settings and measurement items except for the following points are the same as

the TM6102 and TM6103. (p. 12)

Using a LAN

2.6 Using a LAN

The instrument is equipped with an Ethernet 100BASE-TX interface as a standard. The instrument is connected to the network using the recommended LAN cable (p. 30), and then

the instrument can be controlled using the computer.

When a program is created and the instrument is connected to the communication command port

via TCP/IP, the instrument can be controlled using communication commands. (For details, see the Communication Command Instruction Manual (CD).)

Network multiple instruments and computer.

Hub

Flow of preparations

Connect the LAN cable (p. 30).

Set the communication conditions of the instrument (p. 31).

Perform one-to-one connection

between the instrument and computer.

Constructing the network environment

For LAN settings on the computer, see “LAN Settings on the Computer” (p. 101).

Preparations

• Do not connect the instrument to the existing network.

When the instrument is started in the xed setting mode or version up mode, it uses the xed IP address (192.168.0.254). Therefore, when there is the same IP address in the existing network, the IP addresses are overlapped.

• Do not send more commands than necessary. Doing so may lower the communication speed when multiple instruments are controlled.

• Accessing using a wireless LAN or router is not recommended.

Description of setting items

Default gateway

Communication command port

number

Set a unique IP address that does not overlap with other instrument. The instrument uses IP version 4. The IP address is expressed by four decimal numbers separated by a dot (.) like “192.168.0.1”.

This setting separates the IP address into the address part showing the network and the address part showing the instrument. Normally, the subnet mask is expressed by four decimal numbers separated by a dot (.) like “255.255.255.0”.

When the communicating computer and the instrument are in different networks, specify the IP address of the device that becomes a gateway. When performing one-to-one connection or when using no gateway, set “0.0.0.0” for the instrument.

Specify the connected TCP/IP port number for communication commands.

Centroid wavelength input mode

See: “Centroid wavelength input mode settings” (p. 63)

When the detection level is less than 10%, the measurement accuracy of the centroid wavelength becomes worse. This affects the measured value of the radiometric quantity. In this case, set the centroid wavelength beforehand when a strong laser light is measured, and then measure the

radiometric quantity.

• The settable centroid wavelength value must be only in the measurable wavelength range.

• When the centroid wavelength input mode is used, the centroid wavelength offset correction does

not reect to the measurement result.

• When the centroid wavelength input mode is set to ON, the auto range operation is not performed. After setting the range, execute the measurement.

Dark Measurement

3.4 Dark Measurement

Before starting the measurement (after warming up for 30 minutes or longer), attach the cap, and then be sure to execute the dark measurement. When the dark measurement is performed, the sensor offset can be canceled and the correct

measured value can be acquired.

Additionally, it is recommended to perform the dark measurement every time the set value of the

modulation frequency is changed.

• After the dark measurement has been executed, the value that is corrected using the acquired

dark value is reected in the measured result. This dark value is valid until the power is turned off.

• To perform more highly accurate measurements, if the atmospheric temperature changes after the dark measurement has been executed, execute the dark measurement again.

• When the dark measurement is not performed after the power has been turned on, the dark measurement value at shipment (default dark value) is reected in the measurement result.

To measure a weak light, the following dark measurements are recommended.

• Increase the number of averaging of the dark measurement.

• Execute the dark measurement frequently.

Dark measurement settings

Range in which the dark measurement is performed (p. 64)

Set the measurement to be performed in all ranges or only in the xed range. When all ranges are selected, the dark measurement is performed in all ranges. When the xed range is selected, the dark measurement is performed only in the range selected at

this time.

However, when the auto range setting is ON, the dark measurement is performed forcibly in all

ranges regardless of the settings.

Dark measurement result judgment (p. 64)

Whether the dark value is correct can be judged. When the dark measurement is performed with the judgment set to OFF, the dark measurement succeeds in any dark measurement state. However, when the dark measurement is executed in the light incidence state, subsequent normal measurement may not be performed correctly. Therefore, it is recommended to set the dark measurement judgment to ON and check the judgment after the dark measurement has been executed.

Dark Measurement

Dark estimation

The dark estimation is used when the modulation frequency setting is changed. When the modulation frequency setting is changed in the dark estimation ON state, the dark value

at the new modulation frequency is calculated.

• When the modulation frequency is changed in the dark estimation ON state, be sure to check

that the dark estimation is performed correctly.

• To execute the dark estimation correctly, set the modulated light function to ON beforehand. After that, perform the dark measurement in all ranges of all colors. (p. 64) It is recommended to set the number of averaging of the dark measurement to 10 or more.

• The dark estimation is performed in all ranges regardless of the setting of the range in which the dark measurement is performed.

• When the modulation frequency is changed in the modulated light function OFF state, the dark estimation is not executed.

• The dark estimation is used only in a range of the modulation frequency ±5 Hz or less after

the dark measurement has been performed. The dark value obtained by the dark estimation is an estimate value. Basically, it is recommended to execute the dark measurement when the

modulation frequency setting is changed.

Adjusting the White Balance of the Light Source (White Balance Adjustment Assistance Function)

4.1 Adjusting the White Balance of the Light Source (White Balance Adjustment Assistance Function)

The instrument provides a function that assists the work to adjust the white balance of the RGB laser light source, which is a measuring object, to the target chromaticity and photometric quantity.

Acquiring the target value of the radiometric quantity

When inputting the target chromaticity and photometric quantity for the white balance before starting the measurement, you can acquire not only the measured values, but also the target values of the R, G, and B radiometric quantities. (The target value of the radiometric quantity is expressed

in the unit of the radiometric quantity.)

You can adjust the light source to the target chromaticity and photometric quantity for the white balance only by adjusting the radiometric quantity of the RGB laser to the target value of the radiometric quantity.

• The ne adjustment of the radiometric quantity of the RGB laser, which operated by sense while checking the measured values of the chromaticity and photometric quantity, is no longer needed.

• Since the target value of the radiometric quantity can be acquired in the RGB laser simultaneous incidence state, the processes such as turning on the light sources in order are not needed.

Acquiring the tolerance of the radiometric quantity

To make the white balance adjustment assistance function easier to use, the tolerance of the radiometric quantity can be acquired in accordance with the tolerances of the chromaticity and photometric quantity for the white balance you have input. When inputting the tolerances of the chromaticity and photometric quantity for the white balance before starting the measurement, you can acquire the tolerances of the R, G, and B radiometric quantities. (The tolerance of the radiometric quantity is expressed in the unit of the radiometric

quantity.)

You can adjust the chromaticity and radiometric quantity of the light source to their tolerances

you have specied by adjusting the radiometric quantity of the RGB laser to the tolerance of the

radiometric quantity you have acquired. You can adjust the white balance more easily by acquiring not only the target value of the radiometric quantity, but also the tolerance of the radiometric quantity.

TRG

:TARGet:RESult:RGB?

Even when the radiometric quantity of the RGB laser light source is adjusted to the tolerance of the radiometric quantity, the chromaticity and photometric quantity of the light source may not enter their tolerances. In this case, adjust the radiometric quantity of the RGB laser light source so that it gets close to the target value of the radiometric quantity.

Measured values of each color

Even when all measured values of the radiometric quantities of three colors, R, G, and B, are within the adjustment target values of the radiometric quantities, in rare cases the overall judgment may not become the PASS judgment. In this case, perform the adjustment so that the radiometric quantity of each color gets close to the target value until the overall judgment becomes the PASS judgment. Before starting the white balance adjustment, check on the white balance adjustment assistance function ([White Balance Adjustment Assistance Function]) check box ().

Maintenance and Service

WARNING

Customers are not allowed to modify, disassemble, or repair the instrument. Doing so may cause incorrect measurement results.

Calibrations

• The calibration period varies depending on the status of the instrument or installation environment. We recommend that the calibration period be determined in accordance with the status of the instrument or installation environment. Please contact your Hioki distributor to have your instrument periodically calibrated.

• We do not support calibration of the TM6103 only. If you request calibration of the TM6103, the calibration is performed with adjustment. Please understand this point in advance.

Backing up the data

The instrument may be initialized (returned to the factory default settings) when it is repaired or calibrated. Before you ask for repair or calibration, it is recommended to back up (save or record) the measurement conditions and measured data.

Precautions during shipment

• To ensure safe handling, when transporting the instrument, please use the original box and packing materials, but do not use if the box is damaged or warped, or if the packing materials are in poor condition or incomplete. If the original box or packing materials provided with the instrument cannot be used, contact your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller. We will send appropriate box or packing materials.

• When packing the instrument, make sure to disconnect any cords including the power supply cord from the main device.

• When transporting, avoid dropping or other excessive impacts.

• When sending the instrument for repair, include details of the problem.

• To prevent dew condensation during transportation, pack the instrument after putting it in a bag that can be sealed. When moisture absorbents such as silica gel can be prepared, pack them together with the instrument.

• Note that if the instrument is damaged due to transportation without using the original packing boxes and cushioning materials, the repair cost will be charged even within the warranty period.

Cleaning

• Never use solvents that contain benzene, alcohol, acetone, ether, ketones, thinners or gasoline. They can deform and discolor the instrument.

• To clean the instrument, wipe it gently with a soft cloth moistened with water or mild detergent.

• If the detector window is contaminated, wipe it gently with a lint-free cloth such as lens cleaning paper.

• If any ber remains on the detector window, blow it out with a blower for optical lenses.
