Data export software package CM-SA2

data acquisitionreportingdata analysis

Overview
The CM-SA2 software, used with Konica Minolta spectrophotometers, provides precise quantitative analysis of skin color and pigmentation. It displays Melanin Index, Hemoglobin (Hb) Index, and Hb oxygen saturation (Hb SO2) numerically and supports streamlined measurement with CM-17d/CM-16d by one-button operation. The CM-17d camera viewfinder improves measurement positioning and can save viewfinder images linked to readings.

Applications and output
Designed for skin research, product development and efficacy testing (e.g., tanning, cosmetic matching, clinical studies). Results export to CSV for statistical analysis or database integration. Dual-axis and ITA° graphs enable rapid visualization and grouping of measured samples. Outlier detection from multiple points improves data reliability.

Features

• Camera viewfinder positioning and image saving (CM-17d)
