Instrument Calibration
General Calibration Information
Datacolor® 200 must be calibrated regularly to ensure that the measurements are accurate. This
section provides instructions for installing the calibration data and performing the calibration. Below are
instructions for performing the calibration using
Datacolor PAINT and other Datacolor programs.
Reflectance Calibration
The instrument measures the reflectance of an object. It should be calibrated periodically to
compensate for changes in the environment. A
black trap, white tile and green tile are included with
the instruments.
The software prompts for instrument calibration vary slightly from one program to another. However,
you are always required to measure the black trap, white tile and green tile to complete the calibration.
NOTE
The recommended calibration interval may vary depending upon the Datacolor application that you are
using.
Calibration Data
The calibration data for the instrument is stored on the instrument before it is shipped. The program
you run will automatically find it during the first instrument calibration. A backup copy of this data is
included on the memory stick provided with the unit.
