a. When the colorimeter is disconnected to the PC, "Connection Timeout" will occur. At the moment, you have to check whether the USB cable is well connected the colorimeter and the PC. Then you can re-plug the USB to try out.

b. After ensuring the colorimeter is connected to the PC with USB cable, turn on the colorimeter and enter the main menu. Select "Comm" and press "Enter" key to start communication.

c. Turn off CQCS3 software, and reopen it.

D/8°and 45°/0°are two kinds of illumination geometry with different optical geometry design. D/8°illumination geometry is more widely used for the color comparison and measurement of high-gloss materials; 45°/0°illumination geometry is mainly used in printing and packaging industries.
