Minolta CS-160 Chroma-Meter

What is the Minolta CS-160?

The Minolta CS-160 is a high-accuracy chroma meter designed for precise colour and luminance measurement. Its narrow 1/3° measuring angle allows technicians and measurement professionals to target small areas, with a wide luminance range from 0.1 to 9,999,000 cd/m².

 

Precise Colour and Luminance Measurement

The CS-160 uses newly designed sensors with spectral responses closely matched to the CIE 1931 colour-matching functions, helping measurements correlate closely with human visual evaluation. It measures luminance, chromaticity, colour temperature and other colour values, making it suitable for displays, lighting, automotive components and other light-emitting or reflective surfaces.

 

How does the CS-160 stand out in everyday use?

A bright viewfinder and smooth focusing make it easier to target precise measurement areas, while automatic mode adjusts measurement time according to target brightness. The CS-160 also stores up to 1,000 measurements and provides USB connectivity for transferring and analysing results on a PC.
