Normal Mode
The Normal mode provides the same measurement and viewing options as Store mode
without storing any data. Measured samples can be compared to stored references with or
without tolerance values applied. If tolerance values are applied to the reference, pass/fail
indication appears on the instrument. Sample data can also be viewed under various color
space and illuminant/observer combination. Normal mode displays absolute/difference
data and pass/fail indication for all five angles.
1. Use Tab Up or Tab Down to highlight Normal.
