The CS-S10w software enhances calculation accuracy by performing internal calcula-tions with numbers greater in magnitude than those actually displayed. Consequently, the leastsignificant digit displayed may differ from that of the instrument by one digit due to roundingor color space conversion.Because the tolerance judgement calculationand graph-plotted points are also pro-cessed with numbers greater inmagnitude than those actually displayed, the judge-ment resultor plottedpointsmay differ from those obtained withthe values displayed on the instrument.

The items x, y, u', v', ∆x, ∆y, ∆u' and ∆v' are expressed to four decimal places. Other colorimetric data is
expressed to two decimal places.
The number of decimal places can be changed. See page 33 for details.
The CS-S10w software enhances calculation accuracy by performing internal calculations with numbers greater in magnitude than those actually displayed. Consequently, the least significant digit displayed may differ from that of the instrument by one digit due to rounding or color space conversion.
*1 Selecting all waveforms of the spectral data will make the display speed slow. It is recommended to
select necessary waveforms only.

2.4Measurement
To begin measurement, use one of the several methods available, as shown below.
Normal measurement:
Trigger the CS-S10w software to take a measurement and obtain the sample data.
Interval measurement:
Once the measurement operation is started from the CS-S10w, measurement is repeated the predefined number of times at the pre-defined time interval. You can receive sample data every time the
measurement is performed.
The interval measurement is available only in Normal Mode under Light-source Color.
Averaging measurement:
Trigger the CS-S10w software once to begin measurement. After the specified number of measurements has been taken, the collected sample data is averaged to obtain one piece of sample data.
In Normal Mode under Light-source Color, you can use either the interval measurement or averaging measurement, or both.
Averaged measurement:
Select averaged measurement mode. Take repeated measurements for the desired number of times
and exit the mode. The sample data collected during the period is averaged to obtain one piece of
sample data.
Measurement
Measurement with instrument key:
Perform measurement by pressing the measuring button of the instrument. The CS-S10w software
receives the sample data.
The measurement with instrument key is available only in Normal Mode under Light-source Color.

Measurement
The interval measurement repeats the measurement by the number set for “times” at the time interval set for “Interval”. You can receive sample data every time the measurement is performed.
The averaging measurement repeats the measurement by the number set for “times”, and then calculates the average of the sample data to obtain one result.
The interval measurement is available only in Normal Mode under Light-source Color. In this mode,
you can use either the interval measurement or averaging measurement, or both.

tical values described on page 64 averages the colorimetric data of each piece of data that was calculated individually according to its XYZ data. Consequently, the results of these two types of
calculations may differ.

of the pointer changes into an arrow. Click the list data with this arrow to select the data. To select two
or more pieces of data, click the first piece of data and specify the range by clicking the last piece of
data while holding down the Shift key, or click the desired pieces of data one by one while holding
down the Ctrl key. You can also select a range by dragging the mouse. To select noncontiguous pieces
of data, hold down both the Shift and Ctrl keys. Data in different folders cannot be selected. Clicking
the cell in the upper left corner selects all cells.
■ Copying the list data
In the list of data displayed by selecting Target - Target(s) or Sample - data(s), right-click the selected
(highlighted) data and select Copy from the displayed context menu. Or, select the data and then select
Edit - Copy from the menu bar. The copied data can be pasted into spreadsheet software such as Excel.

In the list of data displayed by selecting Target - Target(s) or Sample - data(s), right-click the selected
(highlighted) data and select Cut from the displayed context menu. Or, select the data and then click
Edit - Cut from the menu bar.
The cut data is shown in a dotted line on the list. If the data is pasted to somewhere, the previously cut
data is deleted from the list.

move the mouse pointer to the boundary of the selected data. When the shape of the pointer changes
into a square, drag the data and drop it at the desired point to move the data. If you drag-and-drop data
while holding down the Ctrl key, the data is copied and pasted. However, the data displayed in Sample
cannot be copied and pasted (replicated). It can only be cut and pasted (moved).
If you move sample data from a folder you created into a folder containing different target data, the
linkage between the sample data and the target data changes.
■ Deleting the list data
Right-click the selected (highlighted) data and select Delete from the displayed context menu. Or, select
the data and select Edit - Delete from the menu bar. If more than one piece of data is selected, all the
selected data will be deleted simultaneously. When target data is deleted, the sample data linked to the
target data loses its attribute and becomes absolute data.
■ Sorting the list data
The list data can be sorted according to a list item. For example, data can be arranged in ascending order
according to the ∆Lv value. Right-click inside the list and select Tool - Sort from the displayed context
menu. Or, select Tool - Sort from the menu bar. The data to be sorted is the list data in the list. When Sort is selected, the Sort dialog box appears.

The averaging calculation performed here first averages XYZ data to obtain data that is then used in
the calculation of colorimetric data. On the other hand, the averaging calculation that uses the statis
tical values described on page 64 averages the colorimetric data of each piece of data that was calculated individually according to its XYZ data. Consequently, the results of these two types of
calculations may differ.

of data, is opened with a list style of Add data by a col unit, data exceeding 4,000 pieces will be lost.
When the data file created with CS-S1w is opened
When you select a data file created with the CS-S1w (extension: LMB, LMT, OMB, OMT, LKB, LKT,
OKB, OKT or DAT) and click the Open button, the file is converted into a data file in the CS-S10w format (extension: .ces). The converted “.ces” file is created in the same folder as the original file and is
opened. If a file with the same name already exists, the name of the new file is prefixed with a tilde (~).
The number of tildes increases as long as there is a file with the same name.
When a DAT file is selected, the system cannot identify whether the file contains a list of target data or
that of measurement data. Consequently, the file is converted as a list of measurement data.
The CS-S10w can save as many as 5,000 pieces of data with a list style of Add data by a row unit, or
4,000 pieces of data with a list style of Add data by a col unit. Consequently, if a file created with the
CS-S1w contains more pieces of data than these limits, it is divided into separate files that contain data
equal to or less than these limits.
