Highlights
~ Intuitive On-board Icon-based Software
~ Easy To Follow On-board Instructions
~ Free OnShade PC-based Software for Graphs and Statistical Process Control
~ Ergonomic Design for Prolonged Use
~ Suitable for Use Over Prolonged Periods: The TR 500 has been designed with ergonomic features making it easy to handle during prolonged use.
~ Latest Technology Facilitates Use: Measurements are further facilitated with touch screen technology and the intuitive on-board icon-based software which guides you to customise your instrument including, but not limited to: select your language option (English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese or Chinese); chose between right handed or left handed operation; switch light source and colour space. The on-screen interface also guides you through the process of sample measurement and data management.
~ Enhanced Flexibility: Flexibility is also enhanced with the instrument's choice of customised aperture (8mm/4mm/1 x 3mm) and accessories for most applications including powders, liquids, gels, pastes, granules and solid materials.
~ Repeatable, Stable Results: To ensure you can easily see what you are measuring for repeatable, stable results, the TR 500 incorporates an on-board camera-based locator.
~ View Results On-Screen or On PC: As standard, the TR 500 is supplied with a free copy of OnShade software to view the results on a PC (via USB cable) and develop graphs, statistical process control, shade searching and all available Colour, Space, Colour Differences and Indices which can be shared or printed (via the optional micro printer accessory).
~ Guaranteed Calibration: White and black calibration tiles are, naturally, included with the instrument. It is recommended to re-calibrate every 24 hours minimum.
~ Suitable for Multiple Applications: The TR 500 reports CIE Lab, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, CIE LUV, Hunter Lab colour spaces, deltaE*L*a*b*, deltaE*C*h°, deltaE*uv, deltaE*94, deltaE*cmc(2:1), deltaE*cmc(1:1), deltaE*00, deltaE Hunter Colour Difference Formulas; and can be set to D65, A, C, D50, D55, D75, F2, F7 & F11 illuminants. In addition, the TR 500 can report a wide selection of other Colorimetric Index's: WI (ASTM E313, CIE/ISO, AATCC, Hunter), YI (ASTM D1925, ASTM 313), TI (ASTM, E313, CIE/ISO), Metamerism Index (MI), Colour stain, Colour Fastness, Colour Strength and Opacity. This data is displayed as Spectral Value/ Graph, Colorimetric Value, Colour Difference Value/ Graph, PASS/FAIL Result, Colour Offset or Samples Chromaticity values.
