Navigation function & Color tutorial for total workflow control
With the exclusive Navigation function, you have total control of the flow of operations with online step-by-step instructions including picture illustrations. This unique feature can be customized by the user according to his needs. The Navigation window of SpectraMagic NX also includes a link to the HTML version of Precise Color Communication with many illustrations and explanations that contribute to a clearer understanding of basics and technical terms related of color and color measurement technology.

Total freedom + flexibility that meets your QC needs
Information input for measurement data
Additional items of information can be input for measurement data, which is useful for organizing, sorting, or searching for data. These added items can also be displayed on a graph. Information such as model name, item name, product No., code No., name, order No., color No., production lot No., customer name, product name, visual judgment result (pass/fail input), temperature, humidity, etc. can be input.
Pre-configured templates for various applications
Templates designed for various applications are ready for immediate use. Support for the CM-512m3 (multi-angle spectrophotometer)
The SpectraMagic NX also supports the CM512m3 multi-angle spectrophotometer, which provides measurement values using three illumination angles with one measurement. The data of the three angles can be displayed simultaneously, and the angle characteristics specific to multi-angle spectrophotometer can be displayed visually with line graphs.

E00 (CIE DE2000) display Requirements in screen layouts differ by application, from simple Pass/Fail assessment or statistic process control to detailed analysis for R&D work. SpectraMagic NX comes with several pre-defined templates to choose from, or you create your own screen layout suiting your needs and application with total freedom and flexibility. Each graph type (Color, Spectral, 2D/3D Color-Difference or Trend) as well as the data list can be scaled to the desired size with total ease.

It is now possible for display E00 (CIE DE2000). This is an improved color-difference equation based on the L*a*b* color space which provides better correlation between the color difference value and visual evaluation for subtle color differences.

Printing example of a shipment slip
Various printing functions
Like the display view, the printing view can be used to create your own format by placing and editing objects as desired. This function is useful for preparing easy-toread reports or for filling in shipment slips. Moreover, several pieces of data can be combined and printed on one sheet.
Status window shows Instrument Information at a glance
With SpectraMagic NX, all Instrument Information (status, measurement options, last calibration, comunication status and instrument settings) can be seen at a glance.
Sophisticated QC Applications
Target data of one master target (primary target) can be associated to two or more working targets (regular secondary targets). This allows for sophisticated QC applications such as checking for color differences between the regular targets and master target simultaneously. Or, it can manage the color differences of an entire product in sections by comparing the differences from the target color of each section. The minimum data of several samples is calculated automatically and specified as tolerance. The automatic tolerance setting enables pass/fail judgment using three color difference equations, CMC(l:c), CIE 1994 and CIE DE2000, which are considered to be similar to visual evaluation and are being adopted increasingly by companies and organizations.
Comprehensive graphs and color difference assessments
SpectraMagic NX helps you to make color quality control easy and comprehensive at once. You can choose from several graphs together with the latest Pass/Fail color difference assessment 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 NX features a User Index function that allows you to configure up to 3 customized color equations to meet industry-specific requirements for color evaluation. Auto Target is an additional feature that makes QC with SpectraMagic NX so easy and fast.
Data compatibility with the former SpectraMagic

The SpectraMagic NX is data-compatible with the former SpectraMagic software. The old data can be used without any treatment.
