AGFA PCR II Plus - Exposing Test Images

Exposing Test Images
Test images are part of the PCR II Plus software.
Use Test Image 1 to evaluate the color balance. See Figure 6.2 on
page 6-4.
The Test Images 2 and 3 are used to evaluate other functions of the
film recorder.
Specify the resolution and film type at the PCR II Plus front panel con-
trols before you enter the test images submenu. This ensures that the
PCR II Plus uses its default values when exposing test images. The de-
fault values yield optimum color balance for the test images. If you use
customized values to expose the test images, your results may show
poor color balance.
To expose a test image:
Step 1: Turn on the PCR II Plus. With the font panel controls, select
the resolution (2K or 4K), and the film type.
Step 2: Press MENU then repeatedly press NEXT or PREVIOUS until
the display reads TEST IMAGE SELECT FUNCTION.
Step 3: Press SELECT to enter the test pattern submenu. The dis-
play shows TEST IMAGE # 1. You can select and expose the
first test pattern or skip to others.
Step 4: Press NEXT to scroll through the test pattern choices (TEST
IMAGE#1 through TEST IMAGE#3).
Step 5: Press SELECT to expose the selected test image. When the
film recorder has finished, the display shows DONE, and the
audio alarm emits four short "beeps."
Step 6: Press MENU twice to return to the Ready state.
