The PR-880 is the only fully automated filter photometer available today. We've automated the measuring apertures (5 standard sizes), the filter turrets, the measuring (zero) shutter and viewing (eyepiece) shutter. All of these features are controlled by an on-board computer and are accessed via 8 push buttons on the integral control panel. After setting up the measurement from menus on the 4 x 20 back lit LCD display, making a measurement is as easy as pushing a button. The corrected measurement value (e.g. luminance) is automatically displayed following the measurement. There is no need to apply correction factors for optical accessories, the PR-880 does it all for you. This helps remove any possible "cockpit" errors that could yield false results.
Pritchard Optics
The PR-880, like all of Photo Research's photometers and spectroradiometers, utilizes Pritchard measuring and viewing optics. Pritchard optics assures accurate, non-ambiguous target alignment every time, regardless of the sample size.
Remote Mode Software
This powerful tool allows you to control the PR-880 measurement and data functions from virtually any computer using simple ASCII (text) commands reports over the built-in RS-232 interface. Combined with the full-automation capabilities of the PR-880, Remote Mode software makes an easy task of creating an Automated Test Environment (ATE) for hands off testing - an ever increasing need to help reduce the time to verify that a product meets stringent international specifications.
