Minolta Chroma Meters CR-300, CR-310, CR-321, CR-331, and CR-331C are compact tristimulus
color analyzers for measuring reflective colors of surfaces. Each Chroma Meter consists of the
respective measuring head and the Data Processor DP-301. The measuring head of the Chroma
Meter CR-300 has an 8mm-diameter measuring area and uses diffuse illumination and a 0&deg; viewing
angle (specular component included) for accurate measurements of a wide variety of subjects. The
measuring head of the Chroma Meter CR-310 uses wide-area illumination and a 0&deg; viewing angle
(specular component included), and has a 50mm-diameter measuring area to average the reading
over a wide area for measuring cloth or textured surfaces. Chroma Meter CR-321 has a 3mm
diameter measuring area and uses 45&deg; circumferential illumination and a 0&deg; viewing angle for
measuring precise areas of printed matter and other glossy surfaces. The measuring heads of the
Chroma Meter CR-331 (bidirectional illumination) and CR-331C (circumferential illumination) use a
45&deg; illumination angle and 0&deg; viewing angle for measuring glossy surfaces; their 25mm-diameter
measuring are asaverage the reading over a wide area to provide a more uniform response. All
five Chroma Meters have the following characteristics.
A puised xenon arc lamp in a mixing chamber provides illumination on the sample surface. Six
high-sensitivity silicon photocells, filtered to match the CIE (Commission internationale de l’Eclairage)
Standard Observer Response, are used by the meters double-beam feedback system to measure
both incident and reflected light. The meter thus detects any slight deviation in the light output by
the pulsed xenon arc lamp, and compensates automatically.
Absolute measurements can be displayed as Yxy (CIE 1931), L*a*b* (CIE 1976), L*C*H&deg;, Hunter
Lab, or XYZ tristimulus values; color difference can be displayed as A(Yxy), A(L*a*b*)/ AE*ab,
A(L*C*H*)/ AE’ab, or Hunter A(Lab)/AE values. Data can be converted between color systems or
between absolute and difference measurements by the data processor, and each measurement can
also be printed out in all color spaces if desired. Either CIE llluminant C or Des lighting conditions
can be used for measurements. The Data Processor can based measurement calculations on all
calibration standards stored in memory (up to 20 different calibration standards can be stored) to
provide consistently high accuracy. For measuring color difference, up to 20 different target colors
may also be stored.
Data Processor DP-301 offers several different functions for greater convenience and versatility.
Up to 300 measurements may be stored in memory and memory can be divided into up to 20 pages;
each measurement is automatically stored at the time of measurement as both an absolute
measurement and a color-difference measurement. Data can be printed out at the time of
“measurement, in all color spaces, while it is displayed, or from memory at a later time. Statistical
calculations can be performed on all data in memory or on only the data on a selected page of
memory. Data can be output to a separate computer if desired, and the meter can be operated
by remote control. The Data Processor also includes a timer for automatic measurements at user-
selected intervals, plus an alarm to indicate when the color difference of a specimen is beyond preset
limits.
The meter is powered by six AA-size batteries or by the included AC adapter. Data is kept in
memory until cleared or changed by the user, even if the meter's batteries are removed or the AC
adapter is disconnected.
Please read and study this manual before using the Minolta Chroma Meter CR-300, CR-310,
CR-321, CR331, or CR-331C for the first time, and keep it handy for future reference.

CALIBRATION
The Chroma Meter has 20 different calibration channels numbered from 00 to 19. Channel
00 must be calibrated to the included white calibration plate (Calibration Plate CR-A43 for the CR-
300, Calibration Plate CR-A44 for the CR-310, Calibration Plate CR-A45 for the CR-321 or
Calibration Plate CR-A46 for the CR-331 or the CR-331C); channels 01 through 19 may be
calibrated to any user-selected surface.
e When using several units of the same model, the spectral response of the meters can be
standardized by using the calibration channels for user-selected surfaces and calibrating all the
meters to the same standards.
e For best results, calibration and measurements should be performed under the same conditions
(ambient temperature, etc.)
e When you use Color Calibration Plate Set to perform multi calibration on several Chroma
Meters, please use the same Calibration Plate Set for all Chroma Meters.
Selecting Calibration Surfaces
Calibration channel 00 must be calibrated to the included white calibration plate (Calibration
Plate CR-A43 for the CR-300, Calibration Plate CR-A44 for the CR-310, Calibration Plate CR-A45
for the CR-321, or Calibration Plate CR-A46 for the CR-331 or the CR-331C). The white calibration
plate used for calibration of channel 00 is used as the primary working standard for the Chroma
Meter. When any of the other calibration channels (01 through 19) are calibrated, the correction
factor for the calibration channel is calculated in relation to the calibration data in channel 00. For
this reason, calibration channel 00 must be calibrated to the white calibration plate before calibrating
any of the other calibration channels. For the same reason, recalibrating channel 00 to the white
calibration plate at the start of the measuring session is sufficient; it is not necessary to recalibrate
all calibration channels. |
Calibration channels 01 through 19 may be calibrated to any surface selected by the user.
In general, the surfaces selected for calibration should be of the same material and have the same
surface conditions (texture, gloss, etc.) as the specimens which will be measured. Also, the surfaces
selected should be reproducible and resistant to fading, and should be stored under conditions
which will minimize color changes due to fading, aging, etc.. The surfaces should be selected
to provide a wide variety of calibration points within the range of colors to be measured.
When using multi-calibration (when the “Multi Cal.” index is set to “Y”), the calibration surfaces
should be selected so that all measured values will occur within the area surrounded by the
calibration points. When measurements are to be compared, or are part of a series of measurements,
it is extremely important that the meter be calibrated to the same set of calibration surfaces for all
measurements. If the calibration data in one or more channels is changed or deleted, subsequent
measured values will be different.
When manually selecting the calibration channel (when the “Multi Cal.” index is set to “N”), best
results will be obtained by using a calibration surface which is very close to the specimens to be
measured. When measurements are to be compared or are part of a series of measurements, the
same calibration channel and calibration data should be used for all measurements.
e The optional Color Calibration Plate Set CR-A47 consists of nine color plates (red, orange, yellow,
yellow-green, green, cyan, purple, deep pink, and brown) which can be used as calibration surfaces
if desired. Calibration values are printed inside the cover of each plate.

Standard llluminant Des conditions are listed inside the cover of
the white calibration plate. Be sure to input the calibration data
for the illuminant conditions being used (for the selected setting
of the “Light Source” index).
* Be sure to use the correct calibration plate for the meter being
used (Calibration Plate CR-A43 for the CR-300, Calibration Plate
CR-A44 for the CR-310, Calibration Plate CR-A45 for the CR-

calibration plate.
e Since the calibration data was originally measured at the center
of the white calibration plate, the center of the white calibration
plate should be measured when performing calibration.

of the white calibration plate and tilt the body of the measuring
head toward the baseplate so that the tip of the light-projection
tube is against the surface of the white calibration plate.

Multi-Calibration
CR-300 series Chroma Meters are equipped with a multi-calibration function. When multi-
calibration is used, measurement calculations are based on all calibration data stored in memory,
rather than on the calibration data stored in a single calibration channel. This results in extremely high
accuracy and repeatability.
To use the multi-calibration function to the greatest possible advantage, a wide variety of reference
colors surrounding the range of specimen colors to be measured should be used for calibration.
To use the multi-calibration function, set the “Multi Cal.” index to “Y” according to the steps below.
1, Check that POWER switch is at ON.
2. Press INDEX SET. Indexes will appear in the display, followed by

DIFFERENCE MEASUREMENTS
The Chroma Meter can be used to determine the difference between a specimen color and a
target color as differences of chromaticity coordinates. In order to measure these differences, target
colors must first be stored in memory.
* Color difference cannot be measured in XYZ tristimulus values.
* For best results, input of target colors should be performed under the same conditions (ambient
temperature, etc.) as calibration and measurements.
e Target specimens should be stored under conditions which will minimized color changes due
to fading, aging, etc.
Input of Target Colors
Target colors may be input by measuring a target surface or by using the keyboard to set Yxy,
L*a*b”, or Hunter Lab color coordinates.
BY MEASUREMENT
* When inputting target colors by measurement, the original measured target-color data is stored in
memory, without being adjusted according to the calibration data in memory or the setting of the
“Multi Cal.” index (or the calibration channel selected if the “Multi Cal.” index is set to “N”). After the
target-color data has been stored in memory, it will be adjusted each time a color-difference
measurement is taken or the target-color data is displayed, according to the calibration data in
memory and the setting of the “Multi Cal.” index (and the calibration channel selected if the “Multi
Cal.” index is set to “N”) at the time of the color-difference measurement or target-color data display.

USING KEYBOARD
* When inputting the target-color data using the keyboard, it is recommended that the input data
be measured with the same model of CR-300 series Chroma Meter. The DP-301 will recalculate
the original measured data utilizing the calibration data in memory according to the setting of
the &quot;Multi Cal.” index (and the calibration channel selected if the “Multi Cal.” index is set to “N”).
For this reason, it is very important to write down target-color data, calibration data (for all
calibration channels if the “Multi Cal.” index is set to “Y”, for the selected calibration channel
if the “Multi Cal.” index is set to “N”), and the setting of the “Multi Cal.” index when a target
color is first measured. When the “Multi Cal.” index is set to “Y”, be sure all calibration data
are the same as when the target was first measured; when the “Multi Cal” index is set to “N”,
be sure the calibration data in the selected calibration channel are the same as when the target
Was first measured.
If the target color was not measured with a CR-300 series Chroma Meter, input the calibration data
which was used when the target-color data was first measured into one of the calibration channels
and select that calibration channel (with the “Multi Cal.” index set to “N”) when inputting the
target-color data using the keyboard.

AE ALARM Output Socket
The AE ALARM output socket can be used for triggering external devices when using the AE*a&raquo;
alarm. When a color is beyond the specified AE*ab range from the target color (or when a
measurement error occurs), the signal from the AE ALARM output socket changes from high to low,
remains low for approximately one second, and then returns to high.
* To trigger external devices when using the AE*ab alarm, the signal from the AE ALARM output
socket can be used in conjunction with the signal frora pin 8 of the RS-232C terminal; the signal
from pin 8 of the RS-232C terminal acts as a timing signal for the signal from the AE ALARM
output socket. At the start of each measurement, the signal from pin 8 of the RS-232C terminal
changes low momentarily, and then returns to high. The signal from the AE ALARM output socket
should be checked immediately after the signal from pin 8 of the RS-232C terminal has returned
to high. If the measurement is beyond the specified AE*ab range, the signal from the AE ALARM
output socket will be low at this time (for about one second): if the measurement is within the
specified AE*ab range, the signal from the AE ALARM output socket will be high at this time.

changed from “N” to “Y”.
5. Press ENTER. The display shown at right will appear for about
three seconds before changing to measurement-mode display.
Setting the “Data Protect” index to “Y” causes the following:
* if a measurement is taken (or PAGE is pressed) after 300 data
have been stored in memory, “NO Store Space” will appear in
the display. Subsequent measurements will cause a warning tone
to sound and this message to reappear. Measurement data will be
displayed after the error message, but will not be stored.
o If PAGE is pressed after the page number has reached 19,
“Page End” will appear in the display and no new pages may be
started.
Setting the “Data Protect” index to “N” in the above circumstances will
result in the following:
* if only one page has been used for all memory, each new
measurement will replace the oldest measurement stored in
memory. If more than one page is used, oldest pages will be
deleted as necessary to provide space for new measurements. In
this case, new measurements will be stored on the last page in
use unless PAGE is pressed.
* Pressing ENTER after pressing PAGE will cause the oldest page
in memory to be deleted and new data will be stored in that page.
If the page becomes full, the next page will be deleted to provide
more space.

BASEPLATE LOCK (CR-321)
The baseplate lock of the CR-321 can be used to keep the baseplate against the tip of the light-
projection tube. To use the baseplate lock, slide the baseplate lock to the LOCK position while
pushing the tip of the light-projection tube against the baseplate.
Note: If the measuring head of the CR-321 is used in an inverted position (with the light-projection
tube facing up), care must be taken to prevent foreign matter (such as dust, liquids, etc) from
entering the light-projection tube.

This system's use of wide-area illumination and a large measuring area results in a reading which
Is greatly influenced by the amount of specular reflection present. For this reason, glossy surfaces
should not be measured with this model.

enters 30 optical fibers, which are arranged in a circle to provide uniform illumination over the CR-

angle of 45&deg;. Only the light reflected perpendicular to the surface is collected by the optical-fiber
cable for color analysis. (The optical-fiber cable for monitoring illumination is at the mixing box and
thus cannot be seen in the above diagram.)

The optical system of the measuring head of the CR-331 is shown above. The measuring head
uses 45&deg; illumination, 0&deg; viewing angle geometry for color measurements of glossy surfaces. A
pulsed xenon arc (PXA) lamp inside a mixing chamber provides diffuse, even lighting, which enters
two separate optical-fiber cables and is projected onto the specimen surface from opposite sides
of the 25mm-diameter measuring area at an angle of 45&deg; to the specimen surface. Only the light
reflected perpendicular to the specimen surface is collected by an optical-fiber cable for color
analysis. (The optical-flber cable for monitoring illumination is behind the optical-fiber cable for
measuring specimen and thus cannot be seen in the diagram above.) |
This system is suitable for measuring most glossy surfaces. However, highly reflective surfaces
(such as metallic surfaces) may cause measurement errors since most of the incident light will be
reflected at 45&deg; and thus will not enter the optical-fiber cable for measuring specimen.
Since the specimen is illuminated from two opposite sides, measurement values may vary
depending on the orientation of the specimen in relation to these optical fiber cables (particularly
for linearly textured surfaces). For this reason, care should be taken that the orientation is the same
for all measurements.

The optical system of the measuring head of the CR-331C is similar to that of the CR-331

geometry for measurements of glossy surfaces. However, in the CR-331C measuring head, the light
from the pulsed xenon arc lamp is projected onto the specimen surface at an angle of 45&deg; to the
specimen surface by 16 optical fibers arranged in a circle around the measurement axis. This
provides uniform illumination over the CR-331C's 25mm-diameter measuring area, and eliminates
the problem of variations in measurement values according to the orientation of the specimen in
relation to the optical fibers. Only the light reflected perpendicular to the specimen surface is collected
by the optical-fiber cable for color analysis. (The optical-fiber cable for monitoring illumination is
behind the optical-fiber cable for measuring specimen and thus cannot be seen in the diagram
above.)
This system is suitable for measuring most glossy surfaces. However, highly reflective surfaces
(such as polished metallic surfaces) may cause measurement errors since most of the incident light
will be reflected specularly at 45&deg; and thus will not enter the optical-fiber cable for measuring specimen.

Xenon lamp control circuit
As shown in the diagram above, a total of six silicon photocells are used by the double-beam
feedback system of the Chroma Meter to ensure accurate and consistent measurements. Three of
the photocells monitor the output of the pulsed xenon arc lamp; the other three photocells measure
the light reflected by the surface of the specimen. Each photocell is filtered so that its spectral response
closely matches one of the CIE 1931 colorimetric Standard Observer curves (X2\, yA, or ZA), as shown
below. The photocells convert the light received by them into a current whose strength is proportional
to the brightness of the light. The current is then changed into a proportional analog voltage, which
is passed through an A/D converter and becomes a digital signal. This signal is used by the built-
in microcomputer, which determines the tristimulus values (X, Y, and 7) of the surface and performs
the calculations necessary to determine equivalent data in the desired color space. These data are
automatically stored in memory and can then be shown in the LCD (liquid crystal display) panel of
the Data Processor, printed out, used for further calculations, or output to another computer. The
functions of the built-in microcomputer are controlled from the keyboard of the Data Processor.

COLOR SYSTEMS
Minolta CR-300 series Chroma Meters offer five different color systems for measuring absolute
chromaticity [CIE Yxy (1931), L*a*b* (1976), L*C*H*% (1976), and XYZ (1931); Hunter Lab] and four
systems for measuring color difference [A(Yxy), A(L*a*b*), A(L*C*H*), and Hunter A(Lab)]. in
addition, absolute color difference AE*a is also displayed when color difference is displayed in the
A(L*a*b*) or A(L*C*H*) color systems, and absolute color difference AE is displayed in the Hunter
A(Lab) color system.
For two colors to match, three quantities defining these colors must be identical. These three
quantities are called tristimulus values X, Y, and Z as determined by the CIE (Commission
Internationale de l’Eclairage) in 1931.
Color as perceived has three dimensions: hue, chroma, and lightness. Chromaticity includes hue
and chroma (saturation), specified by two chromaticity coordinates. Since these two coordinates
cannot describe a color completely, a lightness factor must also be included to identify a specimen
color precisely.
XYZ Color System
X, Y, Z: Measured tristimulus values of specimen
The XYZ tristimulus values were defined in 1931 by the CIE, and form the basis for most
calculations in all CIE color-coordinate systems.
Yxy Color System
In the Yxy (CIE 1931) color system, Y is a lightness factor expressed as a percentage based on a
perfect reflectance of 100%. x and y are the chromaticity coordinates of the CIE 1931 x, y Chromaticity
Diagram (shown below), and are defined by the following equations:
X Y
ya Y Xiv17
where
X, Y, Z: Measured tristimulus values of specimen
Color difference values AY, Ax, and Ay are calculated as follows:

L'a*b* Color System
Equal distances in the CIE 1931 x, y Chromaticity Diagram do not represent equal differences
. in color as perceived. The CIE 1976 L*a*b* color system, however, more closely represents human
sensitivity to color and is shown below. Equal distances in this system approximately equal perceived
color differences. L* is the lightness variable; a* and b* are the chromaticity coordinates. Their defining

CARE AND STORAGE
* When dirty, the meter may be wiped with a silicone-treated cloth or other clean, dry cloth. Do not
allow alcohol or chemicals to touch the meter’s surface.
* Do not leave the meter in places subject to high humidity or temperatures higher than 40&deg;C
(104&deg;F) (such as inside a closed motor vehicle), or lower than —20&deg;C (—4&deg;F).
* Do not leave the meter in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, such as stoves, strong lights, etc.
* When the meter is to be stored for an extended period of time, place the meter in its original
packaging and put it in an air-tight container with a dehumidifying agent, such as silica gel.
To protect calibration plate from damage or fading, be sure to close the cover of the calibration
plate after use.
* |f the calibration plate becomes dirty, it may be wiped with a clean, dry cloth, preferably silicone-
treated. If the stain remains, a soft cloth moistened with lens-cleaning fluid may be used. After
cleaning calibration plate with lens-cleaning fluid, rinse calibration plate with water and wipe dry.
* The printer of the Data Processor uses thermal paper. When using this paper, pay attention to the
following points:
- Thermal paper is not suitable for long-term storage. Data printouts should be copied if they are
going to be kept for long periods of time.
- Do not touch the paper with wet or sweaty hands.
- Do not rub or scrape thermal paper with a hard object.
- When writing titles on thermal paper, use either a pencil, or a pen with water-based ink (such as
most ballpoint pens). Do not use a pen with oil-based ink.
- Do not allow solvents or adhesives (such as on cellophane tape) to come in contact with the
recording surface of thermal paper.
- Do not store thermal paper in areas subject to high heat or humidity, in direct sunlight, or near
sources of heat, such as stoves, strong lights, etc.
- Do not store thermal paper with other treated copy paper (such as diazo paper).
* |f thermal paper whose color has changed due to age and storage conditions is used for printing,
the printed characters may be difficult to read. For this reason, it is recommended that the thermal
paper used be as new as possible.

Through The Years &amp; Around The World: A CED Sponsored Learning Fair
Providing Age-Specific &amp; Culturally Competent Care at St. Joseph's
Enhancing Jobs &amp; Advancing Education
At St. Joseph’s we care for patients of all ages (from neonates to geriatrics) and many different cultures.
With this comes the need for all direct care providers to be knowledgeable and skillful (or as JCAHO would
say...competent) about differences in the care of patients of varying ages &amp; cultures. How do we assess a 3
year-old differently from a 12 year-old? How do we insert a peripheral IV in an 85 year-old compared to a
35 year-old? How best to teach a 10-year old about their asthma medication? How to communicate
effectively with a patient or colleague from another country?
Directions: Review each station with content related to your job at St. Joseph’s. Note that you might not
provide care to all ages of patients. Complete the educational activity (fishbowl question, post-test, etc.) then
have the educator at the station sign the checklist. Have fun learning about the great ways we care for
patients at St. Joseph’s.
