CS-200 Color and Luminance Meter
The CS-200 is designed to measure both luminance and chromaticity with high accuracy. It is a low cost option that is easy to use and features a new auto mode for determining measurement speed according the luminance of the subject being measured.
It can measure any light source over a wide range of luminance levels from 0.01 cd/m2 to 20,000,000 cd/m2. The selectable measuring angle feature enables the user to select the optimum angle of 1°, 0.2°, or 0.1° based on the application.
The CS-200 is lightweight and battery powered for optimum portability. Data management software CS-S10w is included as a standard accessory. The software enables the user to easily view and manage measurement data. Up to 101 measurement values can be stored in addition to 20 reference values.

*2 At 0.2°measuring angle, the amount of received light is approx. 1/25 of that for 1°. Therefore, the repeatability becomes the same as that for 1 degwith 25 times lower luminance. At 0.1°measuring angle, the amount of received light is approx. 1/100 of that for 1°. Therefore, the repeatability becomes the same as that for 1 degwith 100 times lower luminance. |
