 FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions 

What are the advantages of using a multi-illuminant colorimeter?
It allows you to evaluate samples under different lighting conditions (D65, A, F11, etc.), simulating real environments and reducing visual errors. 

Can the SA230 replace a spectrophotometer?
No. They are different instruments. The SA230 is a professional colorimeter with advanced functions, but full spectrophotometric analysis requires a spectrophotometer.
 

Is a calibration report included?
Yes, upon request, the SA230 colorimeter can be supplied with a traceable calibration report. 

How does the SA230 differ from the SA130?
The SA230 offers more advanced functions, including a specular reflection filter, two opening sizes, additional color spaces, whitening and yellowing evaluation, and multiple light sources (D65, A, F11, etc.). 

The SA130 is designed for quick, reliable measurements with the D65 illuminant, ideal for comparing samples.
