Máy phân tích màu PCE-RGB 2 RGB 0-1023, HSL0-1000

Spectral Colour Meter for RGB or HSL/ with two variations: for direct data transmission or handheld with optional software and RS-232 interface

The PCE-RGB Colour Meter is based on a more accurate and modern micro system which operates according to the spectral method. A defined source of light illuminates the sample and te light is reflected by the surface and is measured by the spectral mode and the result is shown on te display of the PCE-RGB 2 Colour Meter. With this device you can also take a relative measurement of a luminous surfaces, such as an LCD. The results taken by the PCE-RGB 2 Colour Meter are shown on the display, but can also be transferred to a computer for later analysis by using optional software and RS-232 connector. The application range of the device is quite extensive. It can be used in quality control for colours in production, for receipt and verification of colours being received by shipping in QM systems according to DIN EN ISO 9000, for checking colour distances in colour tests, for colour standards such as in measuring an absolute colour value.

(the colour sensor is connected to the device by a 1m long cable)

• PCE-RGB 2 with external display (the RS-232 is located in the display.  Software with an RS-232 cable can be ordered separately)

• Measurement of non-luminous surfaces such as paper, skin, fabric and paint, as well as luminous surfaces such as LCDs allowing for relative measurement of them.

• RGB and HSL colour spaces

• Calibration function by way of the white standard which is included in the order

• Relative function which allows for comparison between diverse materials.

Application / Chromatic space

Colour Meter can be used on different surfaces and subsurfaces. They can determine absolute colour values (the colour position) or can be used to measure relative comparatives. The RGB colour space is a basic additive colour model which is mixed with white. One colour is defined by three values, its percentage of red, green and blue. Each percentage can be vary between 0% and 100%. The formation of the RGB colour space has been developed according to the knowledge  of diverse theories of colours.

RGB colour space:
           
Aside from the RGB colour space, there is also an HSL colour space, which includes hue, saturation and luminance. The HSL colour space does not consider a white point as one without colour, but as a point of grey, somewhere between balck and white, such as a neutral grey. It is represented as a sphere, a cylinder or a prism with six sides, with the hues and grey point in the centre.
