SECTION 7
SETTING SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The system configuration allows you to customize the instrument to
meet your application requirements. The configuration should be set before
any measurements are taken.
Subjects covered in Section 7 are:
* 7.1 Setting Operation Options
* 7.2 Setting I/O Options
* 7.3 Setting Printout Format Options
7.1 Setting Operation Options
There are three options that can be configured to meet your
requirements. Below is a description of each feature followed by the
selection procedure.
Deltas - When set to "Numbers", any ∆L*a*b*, ∆L*C*H*, or ∆E
CMC
difference measurement will display deltas numerically. When set to
"Words", any ∆L*a*b*, ∆L*C*H*, ∆E
CMC
difference measurement will
display deltas as words (e.g., "brighter", "duller", ">>red", etc.). The
"Off" setting will only display ∆E or Shade Tag number.
Lock Setups - The lock option allows all setup #’s (except setup #1) to
be locked. This will avoid any inadvertent or unauthorized changes from
occurring. When the setups are locked, the options can still be viewed
but no changes can occur. A lock icon will display closed when the setup
options are not changeable.
Auto Setup - when "auto setup" is enabled, the 978 will automatically
select the closest setup match when a sample is measured. The closest
match is based on the "setup" reference and D

illum/obs. Because
illum/obs selection can vary between setups, a single illum/obs is used
for "auto setup" operation. Once the closest match is found, the
individual parameters (tolerance, illum/obs, etc.) of a setup will be
