General Description
The X-Rite 978 is a reflection spectrophotometer that measures spectral
reflectance from 400nm to 700 nm in 20nm intervals. The instrument has a
0° illumination angle, 45° viewing angle, and features a dual-beam, single
light pulse compensation method to insure accuracy.
The 978 calculates colorimetric and spectrophotometric data. The 978
displays colorimetric data, and can output (to a printer or computer)
colorimetric and spectral data. An optional software package, QA-Master,
can collect, sort, view, and analyze L*a*b* and spectral data.
The 978 will store up to 30 user defined setups. Each setup consists of a
tolerancing method, tolerancing limits, reference measurement, and 555
shade sort options (shade size and range).
