basICColor DISCUS

The temperature sensor in the basICColor DISCUS compensates for heat issues during the measurement. Even after extended use in extremely rural stations, DISCUS will provide even, consistent measurements and data in sensitive black areas.

The potted optical and thin film-glass filter of the sensor guarantee the long-term stability of your results. The meter is individually calibrated and can always be re-certified, so you can use the basic color DISCUS for years as a reliable test equipment and production reference.

The plane-parallel, circular, anodized, aluminum housing is designed as a unibody chassis.

For precision measurements, the DISCUS has 3 measurement modes available.

Using the DISCUS Tele (accessory) allows ambient light measurements from a distance on a tripod with a measuring angle of 4°. A laser beam enables an exact alignment of the instrument. Monitor surface contact measurements are made excluding interfering ambient light.

DISCUS allows up to 128 loadable device calibrations, adding to the future of your investment.

basICColor Site License Notes:

basICColor products are always licensed based on unique Machine IDs. A unique number needs to be created for each specific Machine ID. Here are the 3 licensing options for basICColor Site License at this moment:

A) USB-Dongle: The basICColor USB dongle stores a license file which has to be installed once after first application launch. To run the basICColor display software on that computer the USB dongle has to be plugged in. The software generates a unique Machine ID based on that dongles serial number. The software approves and only allows that connection.

B) SiteLicense TAN (TransActionNumber): The Site License Administrator initially communicates their permannent e-mail address for bonding to the SiteLicense TAN (One unique email address for the Administrator is required). Then a SiteLicense TAN is charged with 250 licenses. The Administrator is then able to request 250 permanent basICColor display licenses (while logged in) with the admin e-mail address initially bonded to. If the 250 licenses are consumed, the designated Administrator will get another 250 and so on. For each end-user workstation a license is provided and each machines unique MAC serial number is used to "build" the specific Machine ID that the software approves, only allowing that workstations connection as the 'dongle' from that point forward.

*C) basICColor DISCUS: The basICColor DISCUS has an internal dongle which stores a license file which has to be installed once after first application launch. To run the basICColor display software on that computer the DISCUS has to be plugged in. The software generates a unique Machine ID based on that DISCUS's serial number. The software approves and only allows that connection. *The DISCUS will be the ONLY dongle if bought with the SL Bundle listed above*. An alternative for more license flexibility (i.e.: field calibrations) we would suggest buying the DISCUS and Site License as separates.

Care should be taken when understanding these licensing issues and before ordering. Please call CHROMiX Technical Sales to discuss the best option for you. (866) CHROMiX Ext #1
