DTS 500 - Goniometer for precise, automatic light measurement of control panels and LC displays

Large numbers of samples must be reliably and reproducibly tested for photometric parameters in the laboratories of display manufacturers and suppliers to the automotive and aviation industries. A vital role is played here by DTS 500 positioning systems that permit precise targeting of measuring points and the examination of luminance and color from different viewing angles. They upgrade Instrument Systems high-end spectrometers and telescopic optical probes to an all-in-one system for automated measurement procedures.

The DTS 500 goniometer from Instrument Systems is available in different configurations:

  • Standalone XYZ positioner (e.g. for control panels in cars and aircraft)
  • Standalone 2-axis goniometer
  • Complete 5-axis goniometer (e.g. for LC displays)

The control of the DTS 500 has been fully integrated into the SpecWin Pro software. Readings can be graphically displayed as luminance and contrast distribution in Cartesian or spherical coordinates with isolines, and exported in many formats.

Product details:

  • Precise and robust positioning system for a broad range of applications in display testing
  • Model versions for display sizes up to 590 x 490 mm and sample weights up to 25 kg
  • Full integration into the SpecWin Pro spectral software
  • Programmable, automatic X-Y scans and theta/phi scans in all X-Y positions
  • High positioning accuracy
  • Optional mountings for the LumiCam imaging measurement system

Automatic positioning of displays for viewing angle-dependent measurements

The DTS 500 permits automatic measurement of the optical attributes of displays from different viewing angles. These include:

  • Measurement of backlit switches and symbols or instrument clusters
  • NVIS measurement of flight instruments
  • Determination of the BRDF reflection properties of displays (with optional lighting equipment)
  • Determination of the spatial radiation properties of LEDs and small luminaires
