SECTION 3
TEXTILE QC OPERATION
Subjects covered in Section 3:
* 3.1 Defining QC Setups
* 3.2 Loading QC Setup and Reference Entry
* 3.3 Pass/Fail and 555 Shade Tag Measurements
Pass/Fail function displays the difference (numerically or by words) between
the reference and sample. After a measurement is taken, a pass or fail signal
will then be indicated dependent on the tolerances assigned in the QC Setups.
555 Shade Tagging function allows a means of expressing usable
information on different variations of shaded samples. These samples are
sorted and placed into selected shade groups. This allows the same color
fabric, ceramics, etc. from different manufacture runs to be sorted in shade
groups, and used together in final use.
555 Shade Tagging & Pass/Fail function will indicate pass/fail status
based on tolerances and display a shade tag number.
When Storage Mode is activated (see Sec. 5), QC measurements can be
stored in selected groups and printed.
When the optional bar code reader is used, individual measurements can
be tagged. The stored data can then be uploaded to X-Rite’s QA-Master
software package.
The "Deltas" option that is set in Operation Options (Sec. 7.1) allows
measurement differences to be expressed numerically or by words which
indicate color difference direction or intensity. The color difference
direction and intensity may indicate that a sample is "lighter", ">>red"
(more red), etc. than the sample.
