Introduction

The Konica Minolta CS-150 is a highly accurate tristimulus colorimeter with
sensor spectral responses that closely match the CIE 1931 color-matching
functions to provide measurement results that better correlate with visual
evaluation. The CS-150 luminance and color meter allows luminance and
chromaticity to be measured remotely with a measurement acceptance angle
of 1°. It provides spot measurements of color and luminance of nearly any
type of light source in a handheld portable instrument.

CalMAN controls the CS-150 for automated display measurement and
calibration.

CalMAN Required Version



Version 5.8.2 or newer

CS-150 Connection to Computer

1. Install the CS-150 device driver. You may need to contact Konica Minolta

support to obtain this device driver.

2. Connect the CS-150 to a computer USB port with the supplied T-A15 USB

cable.

3. Check Windows Device Manager to see that the device is working

properly with Windows.

CalMAN Connection to CS-150

The CS-150 needs to be connected properly to Windows, as evidenced by a
normal Device Manager listing, before CalMAN will be able to connect to the
CS-150.

To connect CalMAN to the CS-150:

1. On the Meter Settings tab, click Find Meter.

2. On the Find Meters popup dialog (Figure 1):
a. Leave Com Port set to Auto, or, select the com port that was

assigned to the meter (shown in Device Manager, under Ports
(COM &LPT)).

b. Check the option box for “Konica Minolta CS-150 (USB).”
c. Click Search.

Meter Mode

Because the CS-150 sensors have spectral responses that very closely match
the human visual system CIE 1931 color-matching functions to closely
correlate with visual evaluation, there are not separate meter modes for
different display types.

All display types are measured using the “All Display Types” Meter mode

selection on the CalMAN Meter Settings tab (Figure 2).

Meter Exposure Mode

The CS-150 provides Fast and Slow meter exposure modes, as well as an Auto
mode that automatically sets the measurement integration time, according
to the measured luminance. The User Mode allows you to manually select
the exposure time through the CS-150 meter menu. The default Auto mode
will be the best choice for most measurement situations.

These meter exposure modes can be selected under the Standard Exposure
Mode option on the CalMAN Meter Settings tab (Figure 3).
