22.1.1 Default measuring conditions
You are free to define the default measuring conditions for the
measurement of colorant calibrations, substrates and target colors
( see Chapter 24 «Application notes»). You have various options for
the parameters:
• Illuminant
• Observer angle
• Physical measuring conditions (e.g. filter)
Please ensure that these values have been correctly set before you begin
measuring. The physical measuring conditions of the spectrophotometer
is permanently assigned to a measurement and cannot be modified later.
In addition, the recipes are optimized in relation to illuminant and observer
angle.
22.1.2 Color scale
You can choose between various color systems, such as CIE-Lab and
CIE-LCh. Depending on the option selected, LCh values for example appear
at various points in the program instead of Lab values.
