Q: What is the purpose of Wavelength Analysis & Adjustment (WAA)?
- A: WAA ensures higher-reliability measurements and minimizes system problems by analyzing and adjusting wavelength shifts. It is available free of charge for the first year after purchase.

OVERVIEW

Vertical portable spectrophotometer excellent for measuring small samples and curved surfaces

The CM-17d has a camera viewfinder for easy positioning.
The CM-16d is designed for simplicity and offers excellent cost performance.

Use

Simple to Configure and Ease of Use

Ergonomically designed to be easy to grip. It can be used in a wide range of measurement scenarios, including one-handed work, vertical orientation, and measurement of small objects and curved surfaces. The stress-free hardware design includes easy positioning with the camera viewfinder1, improved visibility with a slight tilt of the operation screen, and a comfortable workspace with wireless connectivity2.

Camera viewfinder is a feature of CM-17d only.
WLAN/Bluetooth module (option) is required.

Higher accuracy and shorter measurement time

The CM-17d has adopted a di:8°and de:8°integrating sphere compatible with the previous CM-700d series.
Along with the improved measurement accuracy of the black colour, the CM-17d also improves efficiency with shorter measurement times.

Various measurement examples utilizing optional accessories

The vertical levelling jig is useful when the main unit is turned upside down for measurement.
The tripod hole on the front of the body can also be used to hold the instrument in place.

Color Data Software SpectraMagic NX2 (Option)

SpectraMagic NX2 is colour management software that gives users a customizable screen display and a wide range of functions for operating and transferring data between their Spectrophotometer or Chroma Meter to their computer for further analysis.
Users can display data lists and create colour difference graphs and spectral graphs to assist in colour management that requires judgment based on numerous values and indicators.
WLAN/Bluetooth module (Option) is required for wireless connection. A wired connection via cable is also possible.
You can see the details in the catalogue from the following 2D code. SpectraMagic NX2 website.

Wavelength Analysis & Adjustment for high stability

WAA (Wavelength Analysis & Adjustment) provides worry-free, higher-reliability measurements and minimizes system problems by suppressing shifts in measurement.
WAA is available free of charge for the first year after purchase of the CM-17d series. After the second year, WAA can be continued as an add-on to the inspection and calibration service.

Cradle for charging and zero calibration

When not in use, the instrument can be placed on the Cradle* to charge the battery, and provide a safe stowage. Also serves as a zero calibration table, allowing calibration work to be performed while the unit is in place.
