Features
|
|
The PR-520 (PR-524 and PR-522) system combines illuminance (with PR-524 -
utilizing true cosine correction) and luminance (with PR-522) measurement
capabilities - unique for handheld photometers and colorimeters.
To make Continuous Measurements, simply press and hold the measurement button. Results
are displayed instantaneously - no detector integration or dark measurements to
wait for.
A special Peak/Valley data locking feature lets you display the largest (Peak)
or smallest (Valley) value during a continuous measurement sequence.
Use the Delta capability to automatically calculate the photometric differences
between two samples.

Back Lit Touch Screen Display
|
|
All instrument set-up, measurement setup and file operations are performed via menus
on the touch screen display. The built-in back light makes it convenient for working
in dark ambient environments.
|
|
Multiple Measuring Heads
|
|
If your application requires a multi-spot measurement such as projector uniformity,
the PR-524 can be fitted with up to 9 remote measuring heads - all under the control
of a PC communicating with the base unit over the USB interface. Each remote detector
is individually addressed.
|
|
AutoSync® Source Rate Synchronization
|
|
Accurate measurements of pulsing or repetitive sources is assured with the SYNC
feature of the PR-520. The instruments can be instructed to automatically detect
the rate (20 to 400 Hz) of the sample and adjust the measurement acquisition
accordingly. You can also enter the frequency value manually.
|
|
Remote Trigger
|
|
When it is necessary to either perform a hands off measurement or to measure a flashing
source such as a camera flash, the PR-524 can be triggered remotely, and once triggered,
will send a pulse to the remote source. Or, it can be used simply as a remote trigger.
|
Remote Control
|
|
Instruments can be controlled from a PC using the Remote Mode command language by
sending and receiving ASCII text instructions over a virtual COM port - standard
equipment with the PR-520.
A rechargeable Li-ion battery means portability - up to 12 hours on a single charge.
A built-in USB Interface lets you connect to the outside world.
Save thousands of measurements on the Secure Digital (SD) card.
PhotoWin 2 Windows software can be used to control the PR-520 systems to provide
a powerful and easy to use graphical user interface (GUI) for:
- Instrument set-up
- Standard (luminance / illuminance / color), Reflectance, Transmittance and Contrast
Measurements
- Save measurements
- Print Results
- Export to Excel
- Chart Intensity vs Time
