The PCS300 provides accurate characterisation of key parameters relating to the performance of luxmeters, luminance meters and components.
Set around a tuneable monochromatic light source, the PCS300 enables the spectral responsivity measurement of photometers to determine their deviation from the desired CIE V(λ) function, represented by the f1’ mismatch index. Furthermore, product development is empowered by the possibility of measuring the component detectors and filters of photometers, ensuring blocking out of band. The addition of a motorised goniometer allows the measurement of directional response.
Easy to use, the PCS300 will directly report the values important to demonstrate the performance of your photometers. Compliment the PCS300 with the LuxCal250 for the calibration of lux and luminance meters according to ISO/CIE 19476:2014.
