2. Color Comparison (QC Testing)
- First, measure a "Standard" color by placing the device on the standard sample and selecting "Scan Standard".
- Next, measure a "Sample" color by placing the device on the sample to be compared and selecting "Scan Sample".
- The device will display the color difference (ΔE*ab) between the standard and the sample, along with color bias indications (e.g., "Slight black", "Slight green") to guide adjustments.
- The QC mode simplifies batch inspection by indicating "PASS" or "FAIL" based on predefined thresholds.
