PCE CSM 1 Color Meter - PCE-CSM 1

PCE CSM 1 Color Meter - PCE-CSM 1

The PCE CSM 1 Color Meter is a portable device designed for quality control. It provides high accuracy and user-friendly operation. With this color meter, you can select from various color spaces (CIE LabCh, CIE Lab*, and CIE XYZ). After taking a measurement, the result can serve as a reference value, while additional readings can be recorded as samples and easily compared to the reference value later.

In addition to the individual color space coordinates, the deviation between the reading is also displayed. It's possible to store up to 100 reference values and up to 20,000 samples on the device. The measured data can also be transferred to a PC via the USB interface. A special PC software is included in the package.
