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.
c. Suggestion: it’s best to perform manual calibration once a week or when NH300 measured data is not accurate.
4. How to replace NH310 measuring aperture?
There are three measuring apertures for NH310: Φ8mm (standard accessory), Φ4mm (standard accessory), extended Φ8mm (optional accessory)
a. Turning on
b. Removing measuring aperture, install the needed measuring aperture.
c. Select “Settings-Aperture Setting” in main menu to select corresponding measuring aperture.
d. After selecting aperture, the instrument will display “White and Black Calibration” interface. White and black calibration must be performed.
e. Replace completed.
5. CQCS3 (Color Quality Control System) Installation
a. Before installation, please Copy CQCS3 folder to your computer and don’t remove any files in CQCS3 folder.
b. Double-click the setup.exe to install CQCS3 software.
c. Then double-click Install.bat under the CQCS3\USB_Driver file to install the driver.
