This compact, multi-function processor connects with Minolta Chroma Meters to
provide such features as data storage, statistical calculation, and timer
operation. The unit also increases the number of color spaces available for
data readout. |

DATA PROCESSOR DP-100
Main Features
- Very portable for convenient use
The
DP-100 s compact size and cordless operation (powered by six AA-size
batteries) allows it to be taken virtually anywhere color measurements are
needed. For extended use without battery recharging an optional AC
adapter is also available, enabling the data processor to be run from an
ordinary AC outlet.
- LCD display
and printout capability
Measurements
are displayed on an LCD panel which is adjustable for easy viewing from
any angle. A thermal-dot printer is also built in to enable data printout
automatically or at the touch of a button.
- Readings
in four color-space notations
With
the DP-100 connected to a Minolta Chroma Meter, two more color spaces, L
C"H ° and Munsell,, are added to those selectable on the meter
alone. Chromaticity readings can be expressed in coordinates for Yxy,
L a b
,L C H °,and Munsell systems; color-difference readings are shown in terms
of A(Yxy), n(L a b ),
0 (L C H ),and AE. Displayed data can be converted from
one space to another with push-button ease,
and the unit can be set to
automatically print out values for all spaces with each measurement.
- Data
storage with memory backup
The
built-in memory stores up to 300 sets of measurements, and a battery backup
system is included to maintain stored data even when power is off.
- Statistical
calculations
A
microprocessor enables calculation and display of the maximum, minimum,
mean, and standard deviation of ail data in the memory or
on a selected page. The unit can also be set to automatically print out the
statistics after each measurement.
- Automatic
measurement at user-selected intervals
Using
the built-in timer, readings can be taken automatically at intervals up to
99 minutes long (selected i n minutes and seconds). With the proper
settings, it i s also possible to have timer measurements displayed,
stored, and printed out in hardcopy.
- Calibration standards
Values
for four separate calibration standards can be input to the memory for
easy access and optimum accuracy when evaluating the color of objects with
different chromaticity.
- Memory
space for up to 17 target colors
The
memory can hold up to 17 sets of color coordinates for use as target
colors in color-difference measurements. A special temporary target channel
permits quick memory input for applications where target colors are used
briefly and then changed.
- Data
output terminal
The DP-100 s
data output terminal (RS-232C)allows the unit to function as an
intelligent terminal for a computer-controlled color-monitoring system.
