Training BYK-mac

BYK-Gardner offers you more than just an instrument. We assist you in analyzing your color readings together with sparkle and graininess data. As a result you will be able to use the BYK-mac to save time and money, while at the same time improving quality. Therefore, the instrument comes with a one day training course including:

1. Color Theory
ˇ   The building blocks of color: illuminant, observer,substrate
ˇ   Color differences with interpretation

2. Operation and Software training
ˇ   Set-up an "organizer" to create a routine
    measurement procedure 
ˇ   Programming of the instrument with "organizer" 
    and measurement of several samples
ˇ   Direct data transfer to ExcelŽ for documentation of
    individual readings
ˇ   Data transfer to auto-chart software and saving in
    a database for routine QC
ˇ   Data analysis using standard reports:

          - Lab-scatter graph per angle to show at one 
             glance whether all parts are within specifications

          - Color travel by sample to show how individual 
             measurement zones perform per measurement
             angle

          - Trend by angle to show the uniformity of all
             measurement zones
          - Spectral curve for further analysis of different 
             batches and metamerism control

*Note: For replacement of white and cyan standard, please contact your local service department.

ˇ Create your own reports in ExcelŽ 
   - Transfer data from the database to ExcelŽ
   - Pivot function to define layout in ExcelŽ

The training can be performed in one day or two half days. It is recommended to split the training into two half days:
Day 1: Theory and basic operation (set-up organizer,
            taking readings and saving in a database)
Day 2: 3-4 weeks later to ensure readings were taken and
            saved in a database. Data analysis and standard QC
            report can be explained using custom specific data.
