The PR-525 / PR-521 ColorMate
The PR-525 ColorMate brings hand-held, colorimetric measurements into the 21st century. It features a backlit touch- screen LCD display, USB interface, Secure Digital (SD) card and rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Measuring refreshing sources? The PR-525 automatically syncs to non-DC signals. The PR-525 can be triggered remotely making it possible to perform hands off measurements, and if required, automatically send a trigger pulse to a remote source such as a camera flash.
Features
Ease of Use
All instrument and measurement set-up parameters and data display and management are handled via the built in 1.5" x 2.3" back-lit touch screen display. Making a measurement is as easy as pressing the only button on the PR-525 - the measurement button.
15 Heads are Better Than One
If you have a need to make simultaneous color measurements of multiple areas, say uniformity of a projected image, the PR-525 can be outfitted with up to 15 remote heads (PR-515 Remote Head) all individually addressed and controlled from a PC talking to the PR-515 base unit using the included PR-525 software.
Luminance Measurements
For luminance measurements, the optional PR-523 SpotMate replaces the standard cosine diffuser. The PR-523 features a through-the-lens optical system (Pritchard Optics) for unambiguous target alignment. The PR-525 and the PR-523 can be ordered as a system, the PR-521
Remote Control
For integration of the PR-525 into an ATE environment, we supply software that provides the functionality of a serial (COM:) port when the PR-525 is connected to your PC using the USB interface. Simply send a text formatted command string to the COM: port and the PR-525 will perform the measurement and return the data requested in the command string. This capability, unique among handheld portable photometers, gives you complete remote control of the instrument and provides measured values that could be exported into Microsoft Excel®, etc
Measurement Storage
The PR-525 is supplied with a 32 MByte Secure Digital (SD) card capable of storing over 50,000 measurements.
Utilities Software
The standard Utilities software contains drivers for the COM: port emulator, a "Quick Reader" if an SD card reader is used to read files directly on the PC and a basic executable for making measurements with multiple heads.
