Data can be transferred between the instrument and a PC by connecting the instrument’s RS-232C
terminal to a PC.
When using the instrument continuously for long periods of time or when performing data transfer
using the RS-232C terminal, we recommend using the AC adapter (AC-A17) when connected to a PC
because of the higher power consumption involved.
<Connecting the PC>
By connecting the instrument to a PC/AT compatible PC using the optional RS-232C cable CR-A102,
the data stored in the instrument memory can be sent to a PC.
Use the optional CR-400 utility software CR-S4w or the Color data software ChromaMagic CR-S3w
when connecting the instrument to a PC.
The followings can be used in remote mode:
1. Outputting measurement and target color data to a PC
2. Deleting measurement data
See P.129 “Changing to Remote Mode” for details.
Notes on Use
When connecting, make sure that the connectors are correctly oriented and fastened securely with
screws.
Before connecting, make sure that the power to both the instrument and PC is turned OFF.
Hold the connector when connecting or disconnecting. Do not bend, pull, or apply undue pressure
to the cord, as this may cause it to break.
Do not touch the connector terminals with your hand. Doing so may cause them to get dirty or
subject them to excessive force.
Make sure that the cable is long enough. Tensioning the cable may cause connection failure or wire
breakage.
If optional RS-232C cable CR-A102 is not used, make sure the cable specifications match the pin
number/signal connection diagram for an RS-232C cable below. An inappropriate cable will pre-
vent data from being input and output properly and may cause malfunctions.
