Quality Control Software SpectraMagic DX for interior and exterior colour measurement with diagnosis function

SpectraMagic™DX

SpectraMagic DX is a colour measurement software package that can be used to interface with Konica Minolta’s newest measurement instruments CM-25cG and CM-M6 and provides easy usage for the analysis of colour and colour difference with a convenient diagnosis function.

  • Pre-defined screen templates for Pass/Fail assessment
  • Suitable for all up to date Windows OS systems
  • Inspect colour in lab or production process
  • New Diagnosis function to check Repeatability, Reproducibility or Light Source level
Quality Control Software SpectraMagic DX for interior and exterior colour measurement with diagnosis function

The successor of the SpectraMagic™NX, SpectraMagic™DX, is a colour measurement and control software suitable for almost any industry such as Plastics, Paint & Coatings, Cosmetics, etc.

Whether your colour control involves incoming raw materials, in process production or outbound colour critical goods and materials, SpectraMagic™DX makes it easy to inspect and control colour.

While in principle keeping the look&feel of SpectraMagic™NX, the new design of the SpectraMagic™DX user interface enhances working experience and makes using the software even simpler.

Utilize pre-defined screen templates for Pass/Fail assessment, statistical process control, or R&D analysis. SpectraMagic™DX helps you choose just what's right for you.

SpectraMagic™DX connects to Konica Minolta’s portable spectrophotometers (except CM-512m3A) and is suitable for all up to date Windows OS systems.
 

Features

Features
Requirements in screen layouts differ by application, from simple Pass/Fail assessment or statistic process control to detailed analysis for R&D work. SpectraMagic DX comes with several pre-defined templates to choose from, or you can create your own screen layout suiting your needs and application with total freedom and flexibility.

Each graph type as well as the data list can be scaled to the desired size with total ease.
 
  • Sophisticated QC Applications

Target data of one master target (primary target) can be associated with two or more working targets (regular secondary targets). This allows for sophisticated QC applications such as checking for colour differences between the regular targets and master target simultaneously. Or the colour differences of an entire product can be managed in sections by comparing the differences from the target colour of each section.
 
  • Comprehensive graphs and colour difference assessments

SpectraMagic DX helps you to make colour quality control easy and comprehensive at once. You can choose from several graphs together with the latest Pass/Fail colour difference assessments equations, such as CIE 1994 or CIE DE2000 and several industry related indices. Tolerances, both in box or elliptical form can be automatically calculated or manually adjusted to approved standards.

Furthermore, SpectraMagic DX features a "User Index" function that allows you to configure customized colour equations to meet industry-specific requirements for colour evaluation.

An additional feature that makes QC with SpectraMagic DX easy and fast is “Auto Target” to automatically choose the correct target for comparisons after a measurement was taken.
 
  • Diagnosis functionality for easy instrument performance checks

Not only does SpectraMagic DX help you to control colour quality of your products but also to control the performance of your instruments – the most critical part in any quality workflow.

With the new Diagnosis function, it becomes easy to check the performance of your instruments – check Repeatability, Reproducibility or Light Source level.

All checks can be setup by an administrator as projects to be executed by operators on a daily or frequent basis.

A user-friendly navigation helps the user to diagnose the instruments easily by displaying text and illustrations which are changed by a connecting an instrument, while trend graphs help to monitor performance and initiate countermeasures before the condition of your instrument declines.
