2-4. Uniformity Adjustment

n

In the case of the system using two or more display controllers, be sure to adjust the uniformity under the
condition that the display controllers are linked each other.

1. Connect a PC to Display Color Analyzer CA-310. (Refer to Section 2-1-2.)

2. Start the CA-310, and then execute the 0-calcuration. For details on how to operate the 0-calcuration,

refer to an instructions of CA-310.

n
After the 0-calcuration is completed, set the probe to [Measure].

3. On the Data screen, click the [Uniformity] tab.
The Uniformity screen is displayed.

4. Click [Installation] in [Adjustment Mode].
t
In the case that [Installation] is selected, it executes in sequence from a measurement of the luminance

and chromaticity to a restoring the measurement results.

When you want to execute the restoring the measurement results separately from a measurement of

the luminance and chromaticity, refer to Section 2-6 and Section 2-7.

5. Click the display units that you want to adjust in [Unit Allocation].
