Comprehensive reporting and easy data export
SpectraMagic™ NX allows you to insert digital pictures with the measured data, opening
totally new dimensions to color communications with customers. The data list view
allows you to swiftly export measurement data into Excel by copy and paste function.
Reports as well can be created by the user with total freedom to meet traceable
evidence of color consistency demanded by customers. Furthermore, SpectraMagic™
NX can share data within a local area network (LAN) and operates under Windows®
2000 Professional and XP Professional.
Automated operation by macro function
You can easily register routine operation flows as macros using the menu screen to
automate operation processes. This is effective for reducing working time as well as
preventing operation mistakes.
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.

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.
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-to-
read reports or for filling in shipment slips. Moreover, several pieces of data can be
combined and printed on one sheet.
Total freedom + flexibility that meets your QC needs
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.

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.

Pre-configured templates for various applications
Te mplates designed for various applications are ready for immediate use.
Support for the CM-512m3
(multi-angle spectrophotometer)
The SpectraMagic™ NX also supports the CM-
512m3 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
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.
Sophisticated QC Applications
Ta rget 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.
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.

NX can share data within a local area network (LAN) and operates under Windows®
2000 Professional and XP Professional.
Automated operation by macro function
You can easily register routine operation flows as macros using the menu screen to
automate operation processes. This is effective for reducing working time as well as
preventing operation mistakes.
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.
