About User Calibration
User calibration allows users to set their own correction coecients to calibration channels of the instrument by setting
calibration values (Lv x y, Lv u’v’, or X Y Z) on the instrument. Afterward, the value corrected with the specified correction
coecients will be displayed/output for every measurement.
User calibration can be performed to apply the following corrections to measurements based on the specified correction
coecients.
(1) Correction of variation of readings that occur due to the deviation of spectral sensitivity from the CIE 1931 color-
matching function
(2) Correction of dierence in readings between instruments when two or more instruments are used
Single-point calibration or RGB+W matrix calibration can be selected for user calibration. User calibration ensures accurate
measurement of luminance and chromaticity near the calibration light source.
• When obtaining the calibration value by measuring the calibration light source with a measurement reference device, be
sure to set the reference device and the instrument at the same position and angle from the calibration light source and
measure the same measuring area. The instrument may not be calibrated properly if the measurement conditions are
dierent from those of the reference device.
• During measurement, use a constant-voltage power supply for illuminating the calibration light source to ensure
conditions are as stable as possible.
User calibration can be performed for every calibration channel except for CH00.
User calibration can be performed through the following methods.
(1) By Measurement (Single-point calibration) .................................P. 84
(2) By Measurement (RGB+W matrix calibration) ............................. P. 86
(3) Selecting from Saved Data .......................................................... P. 88
(4) By inputting edit correction coecients .....................................P. 90
User calibration cannot be performed for calibration channel CH00.
(CH00 is a calibration channel for performing measurement in accordance with Konica Minolta’s calibration standard.)
The user calibration correction coecients are used in common for each color mode (L
