1. When I received NH310/NH300 colorimeter and perform measurement, why the measured data is abnormal?
After receiving NH310/NH300, you have to perform white and black calibration manually when first starting.
2. In which condition, manual white and black calibration and auto calibration are required for NH310?
a. It’s needed to perform manual calibration for NH310 when first starting.
b. In the subsequent starting, NH310 will perform auto calibration at startup. No need to perform manual calibration.
c. Suggestion: it’s best to perform manual calibration once a week or when NH310 measured data is not accurate.
3. In which condition, manual white and black calibration for NH300 is required?
a. It’s needed to perform manual calibration for NH300 when first starting.
b. In the subsequent starting, no need to perform manual calibration.
