Meeting the Demand
Information display performance is continuing to improve at an almost exponential rate. Of these improvements, one of the most important is luminance contrast. To acheive improved contrast ratios, display manufacturers are striving to make black blacker. In parallel with improvements in performance comes an increased level of difficulty in measuring the ever decreasing luminance levels. The PR-805 is designed to not only meet but exceed these demands.
Portability/Ease of Use
The PR-805 is unlike any of our previous photomultiplier tube (PMT) based photometers - it's battery powered! The Lithium-ion battery provides more than 12 hours of continuous operation providing the ultimate in portability. It also features a full color touch screen display, and 75 mm objective focusable from 14" (355 mm) to infinity
Sensitivity
The PR-805 can measure down to 9E-4 (0.0009) footlamberts. A fully automated Neutral Density (ND) filter turret provides 3 decades source attenuation (10X, 100X and 1000X attenuation) resulting in a 9 Million : 1 dynamic range in any aperture - wide enough for any contrast measurement task.
Connectivitiy
For help in communicating with the outside world, the PR-805 is supplied with a USB interface and driver. The driver establishes a virtual COM port making control of the PR-805 as easy as communicating over RS232. If a traditional RS232 interface is a must, it can be supplied to complement the USB I/F. Want to go wireless? A Class 1 Bluetooth interface can be added for control of the PR-805 up to 100 meters away. For control of the PR-805, an on-board protocol - Remote Mode Software - allows you to make measurements and get the data you need by sending and receiving simple ASCII text commands making integration into an ATE or other environment a snap.
