MTCS-C2 Colorimeter Board – The Hi-Tech Sensor ‘Like Human Eyes’
In addition to its True Color IC solutions, MAZeT offers a series of
colorimeter boards, supplemented by software and drivers, based on the
MAZeT MTCS series. These boards are targeted at OEM customer solutions
for color measurement and control.
The MTCS-C2 ‘Colorimeter 2’ True Color Sensor Board is a standard production board,
which in addition to the color sensor IC also integrates the complete
signal amplification and processing as well as a microcontroller
including the interface.
Along with the sensor hardware, MAZeT provides
a USB driver and user software for:
- calibration of the measuring system on the basis of color targets
- control of the sensor
- visualization and logging of the measurement values in XYZ, Lab or similar.
The board’s optical channel is provided with a mechanical aperture to
comply with 10° measuring geometry requirements. Calibration of the
board as a measuring system is performed at the factory. The sensor can
be used immediately for measuring functions after connection to a PC
and installation of the software. The user can set up his own light
source or as an alternative he can use the modEVA from MAZeT.
The Colorimeter 2 is recommended for general color detection and measurement tasks according to DIN ISO 13655 and DIN 5033 (CIELAB standard). With relatively simple preparation, this sensor solution definitively meets the accuracy of the human eye in any application and is, therefore, ideally suited for color testing or recognition - ‘Like Human Eyes’.
