The MTCS-C2 ‘Colorimeter 2’ True Colour Sensor Board is a standard production board, which in addition to the colour 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 colour targets
• control of the sensor
• visualisation and logging of the measurement values in XYZ, Lab or similar.
The following components are integrated on the MTCS-C2 board:
• True Colour Sensor MTCSiCS
• Transimpedance amplifier MTI04CQ
• Microcontroller C8051F321 with 10-bit A/D converter and USB interface
• EEPROM – available data memory for compensation and correction data
Items included:
The MTCS-C2 package includes:
• MTCS-C2 (µC Version 0.1x)
• documentation
• optional USB cable
• optional PC software ‘colorimeter2.exe’ (with USB driver as SYS and MTCSApi.dll)
(sensor calibration, display and output of measured values, for example in the CIELAB colour space)
• optional macro function library (API Application Program- ming Interface MTCSApi.DLL with test software)
• optional 2° optic aperture
Photodetector Modules are highly cost effective, saving time at the development stage and throughout the course of manufacturing the product. The electronic and mechanical design is normally customised to provide the optimum interface with the user's equipment.
Sens-Tech Photodetector Modules provide the instrument designer with a wide range of high performance plug-and-play solutions for low and high light level detection and measurement. Modules are light tight and incorporate combinations of the following:
- photomultiplier
- power supply
- voltage divider
- electromagnetic screening
- electrostatic screening
- counter-timer/RS232 connection
- signal processing electronics
