1 While viewing the image on the monitor, turn the focus ring of the objective lens to your desired position (usually until the object just comes into focus).

2 At this time, clicking the "Assist focusing" screen will allow you to check the contrast of the image.

If theobjectdoesnotcome into focus, thesectionview has dull edges even at positions with different brightness.

If theobjectcomesinto focus, thesectionviewhassharp edges at positions with different brightness.

1.1 Synchronized measurementsIncaseofmeasuringobject repeatedlyand intermittentlyemitting light likeCRTorPDP, luminanceandchromadistributions can be measured steadily by setting light emission period.

BelowshowsanexampleofmeasurementresultofCRT.Left isan imageobtained lightemissionperiodbeing ignored, and right with the most adequate exposure time matching light emission period. While striped unevennessappearsontheleftduetotheinfluencebyCRTscanning,noneofsuchphenomenoncanbeseen on the right.

BecauselightemissiontimingisdifferentdependingonthescreenareaforCRT,whichemitslightthroughelectron beam scanning, influence by intermittent light emission is found in the form of above shown unevenness.Ontheotherhand,nounevennessoccurslikeCRTwhenentirescreenflashessimultaneouslylike PDP, but measurement value varies with each measurement.Belowshowsanexampleofmeasurement resultofPDP.Thegraphsshowboth thesynchronousandasynchronous measurement results (the average value in 100 x 100 pixels of the center area) when the same area was measured ten times in succession. While luminance and chromaticity are stable in synchronous measurement, the values obtained by asynchronous measurement change remarkably.

1.2 User CalibrationMeasurement error in luminance and chroma, or difference with the reference value controlled by the client sometimes arisebecauseof thegapbetweenspectralsensitivityof this instrumentandCIE1931color-matching function. In thiscase, you can use the user calibration function to calibrate measurement values.

CA-2500/CA-2000usesthecalibrationcoefficientcalculatedbyeitherofmonotintorRGBmatrixcalibrationmethodto

make a calculation uniformly on entire screen, which enables to calibrate the measurement values for entire screen.

WhileLVstandsforluminance,TandΔuvforcolorinLVTΔuv.

<Relation between correlated color temperature T and color difference from blackbody locus Δuv>Color temperature refers to the temperature of blackbody (perfect radiator) which has equal chromaticity coordinatestocertainlight.However,colortemperatureonlyrepresentscolorsonblackbodylocus.Correlated color temperature, slightly wider interpretation of color temperature, is very useful to eliminate suchproblem.Here,correlatedcolortemperaturecoversthosewhichareslightlyoutsidetherangeofthatofblackbody locus.If acertaincolorpositionson isotemperature line, the intersectionpointof isotemperature lineandblackbodylocusisindicatedascorrelatedcolortemperatureforthecolor.Isotemperaturelinemeanslineonchromaticity coordinates which is a set of colors visually close to color temperature on blackbody locus.However,sinceallcolorsonanisotemperaturelinearerepresentedwithequalcorrelatedcolortemperature,it isnotpossible todescribecoloronlywithcorrelatedcolor temperature.Tosolve that,Δuv, deviation ofcorrelatedcolor temperatureT fromblackbody locus, is toapply for thatpurpose.

3 Pattern-like unevenness appears.

Check whether stripe-like unevenness fluctuates by slightly changing the distance between CA-2500/CA-2000andmeasurement object.

Ifso,Moirefringescouldhavegenerated.Adjustthemeasurementdistanceofobjecttoreduce such phenomenon.

Isitroundstripedpattern?Check whether pattern position does not shift even after slight migration of field angle of CA-2500/CA-2000andmeasurementobjectupto down or right to left.

Ifnot,itshouldnotberegardedasfailure,butjustuniquepatternofthisinstrument.CA-2500/CA-2000showsjustslightpattern-likeunevenness originally. Apply lower display tone.

4 Measurement values vary quite largely. Imagelooksrough.

Hasthelightexposurebeen adequate?

Iflightexposureisnotenoughundermanualexposure, fluctuation of measurement values tends to be large. Set light intensity as large as possible, but so as not to overexpose.

Check whether the luminance has been low.

Ifitisclosetothelimit,noisefromobtained image signal becomes larger which generates uneven values or rough image, but this is not failure.

Check whether the multiplication has been set low.

Thelowermultiplicationis,theshortermeasurementtime is, but values tend to be more variantandimagerougher.Toreducesuch variance rather than to pursue shorter measurement, set multiplication as high as possible.

5 User calibration has not been functioned as expected.

Check whether the coefficient has been correct.

Select appropriate method and coefficient depending on purpose.

6 Small pixel number for data. (Fewer than 980 x 980 pixels.)

Check data process range. Pixel number tends to be smaller if set up to process specified range data of all measurement area.

Set measurement range properly according to purpose and condition.

Check resolution condition.Resolutioncanbeselectedamong 3 types; 980x980, 490x490 and 196x196 pixels.

Set the resolution properly according to purpose and condition.
