Measure with Spectro LFP qb

The Barbieri Spectro LFP qb automatically positions the page under its measurement aperture and moves the page to measure each row of patches. The on-screen image highlights each row as it is measured.

Before you measure pages, be sure that the Spectro LFP qb and your computer are both connected to the same subnet of your local area network. Contact your network administrator if you are unsure.

  • Connect the Spectro LFP qb to your computer and turn on the Spectro LFP qb.
  • Calibrate the Spectro LFP qb.
  • To learn about the Spectro LFP qb, see the documentation that accompanies the instrument.

The Spectro LFP qb is connected to your computer through your local area network rather than through a USB connection. The Spectro LFP qb can be used to measure pages for multiple computers on the network.

When you have successfully measured a page, you can check the measurements if desired.

When you select the Spectro LFP qb as your measurement method, you can set the instrument settings.

Measurement mode - Select the type of measurement that you want. You measure each strip in a single pass.

  • M0 - One pass, UV included
  • M1 - One pass, D50 UV included
  • M2 - One pass, UV cut
  • M3 - One pass, Polarization filter applied only

You can set the patch size to one of the available sizes: Normal (Default), Medium, and Large. The measurement method is the same for all patches regardless of patch size.

You should select your connection setting by choosing USB or Network.

When a page has been successfully measured, you can check the measurements. If any measurements are not as expected, you can remeasure the strip.

  1. Place the first patch page on the sample holder, insert the sample holder in the Spectro LFP qb, and then click Next.

    Position the page as shown on the screen.

    Note: You can switch from scan measurements to scan to spot measurements, and back to scan measurements as a per row decision for both a chart and a wedge.
  2. Following the on-screen instructions, position the cross hairs over the patch marked A and click Next or press the Enter key. Repeat for the patches marked B and C.

    The on-screen image helps you locate the patches A, B, and C.

  3. Click Next.
  4. When Spectro LFP qb finishes measuring the page, click Next.
  5. Measure the remaining patch pages (if any) in the same manner as the first, starting with the placement of the page and the registration of patches A, B, and C.
  6. After you measure the last page, click Next.
