DatasheetCompact, Self-Contained, Three-Output Color-DifferentiatingSensor•Two versions for application flexibility: QC50 models for most applications, and QCX50 models for more challenging applications•Compact, self-contained design•Analyzes and compares color to color, or varying intensities of one color •QCX50 models excel in challenging applications, such as differentiating dark blue from black•Easy-to-set programming options for 1, 2, or 3 colors•Three programming parameters: channel, sensing mode, and tolerance level •10 tolerance levels to allow for product variation•Output OFF-delay (6 options);selection applies to all three color channels•Gate mode option (also called inhibiting,synchronization,or windowing)WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel ProtectionNever use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safetyapplications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor outputcondition.ModelsOverviewThe easy-to-use QC50 series true color sensor uses modulated white light with red,green, and blue (R, G, B) electronic filters to scan for the presence of one, two or threecolors. Its compact size allows it to be mounted almost anywhere. Configurationoptions include Programming mode for color detection parameters and Setup modefor selecting an adjustable output OFF-delay or selecting between two response speeds(some models). Three solid-state outputs may be set individually for colordifferentiation or for color-plus-intensity differentiation (seeProgram the Sensor onpage 2).The sensor has two push buttons, Set and Select, plus a 4-digit LED display, an OutputLED, and three Output Status LEDs (one for each sensing output), for easyprogramming and status monitoring during operation. The push buttons can be lockedfor security (see Disable the Push Buttons on page 4.Push ButtonSet Push4-Digit Displaymating cordset.QC50 Series True Color SensorOriginal Document111523 Rev. D27 February 2017111523Configuration InstructionsProgram the SensorProgramming mode determines the colors the sensor will detect for each of the three outputs. Repeat the following steps for each output. The procedure is identical for all models.The sensor has a 12-second time-out. If more than 12 seconds elapses between steps, sensor returns to Run mode without saving the settings.The QC50 can be programmed to sense one, two, or three colors. Three outputs are available for this purpose. When a programmed color is sensed, the yellow Output ("OUT") indicator LED and the associated green Output Status LED turn ON, and the respective output conducts.Sensing Modes—The Sensor functions in one of two sensing modes: Color only (expressed "C" on the 4-digit display) or Color-Plus-Intensity (expressed "C_I"). In Color sensing mode, only colors are sensed. This is most useful for sorting obvious color differences (for example, red or black or green). The Color-Plus-Intensity option refines the sensor's capabilities to include grayscale as well, broadening the spectrum of colors and shades which the sensor can be programmed to detect. This feature allows "batch" sorting or identifying within a color family (for example, light blue or medium blue or dark blue).Tolerance Levels—The Sensor can be configured for one of 10 levels of tolerance (0 to 9). A higher number (for example 9, expressed "toL9" on the 4-digit display) permits the sensor to accept a wider range of target conditions, compared with lower tolerance levels. A tolerance level of 0 (expressed "toL0") causes much more precise discrimination and a narrower range of target conditions.1.To sample the color, position the new color to be sensed within scanning distance, typically 20 mm (0.8 in).The sensor samples the color. The Output LED and all Output Status LEDs are off. The display shows run (no OFF-delay) or rund (OFF-delay selected).2.Select the channel.a)Press and hold Set for more than two seconds.b)By default, channel 1 (SEt1) is selected. Click Select until the desired channel is displayed.c)Click Set to save your selection.The Output LED and Output Status LEDs are OFF. The display shows SEt1 for channel 1, SEt2 for channel 2, or SEt3 for channel 3.3.Select the sensing mode.a)Click Select to choose between Color (default) or Color + Intensity.b)Click Set to save your selection.The Output LED and Output Status LEDs are OFF. The display shows C for Color or C_I for Color + Intensity. After the sensor saves the color settings, the Output LED is ON and the selected channel Output Status LED is on. The display shows uPdt (flashing for two seconds).4.Select the tolerance level.a)Click Select until the desired tolerance level is displayed. There are 10 tolerance levels to choose from.b)Click Set to save the tolerance setting.The Output LED is on and the Output Status LED for the selected channel is on. The displays reads toL0 (most selective) through toL9 (least selective).If the color being taught is out of the sensor’s range, FAIL appears in the 4-digit display, followed by Hi or Lo(indicating too much or too little light, respectively).Save the selected sensor settings by clicking the Set button at the end of Programming mode selection. The settings are saved in the sensor’s EEPROM memory and the sensor remembers the current settings, even after being powered off. - Tel: +1-763-544-3164P/N 111523 Rev. DIndicator DisplaysTo review the sensor's settings, press Select for 2 seconds or more.The output channel, sensing mode, and tolerance level will then be displayedsequentially, followed by the delay interval (applicable to all channels) and normal or fast mode (for QCX50 models). At the end of the sequence, the display indicates "run"or "rund" (depending on the delay setting).Non-Initialization Display Messages —When using a sensor for the first time, the message "E2Pr" may be displayed. This indicates the memory has yet to be used. To correct this situation, set up a channel according to the procedure described earlier in Programming Mode . When any channel is set up successfully, a "run" or "rund"message is displayed.Run Mode — Normal sensor operation is called Run mode. The LED indicators and the 4-digit display indicate current operating status. For example, if the color sensor is detecting the color for which output 1 is programmed and no delay is selected, the indicators appear:•Output (Out) LED: ON Yellow •Output 1 Status LED: ON Green •4-digit display: run Fast Mode —When a QCX50 model sensor is operating in Fast mode, the display will flash"FASt" for approximately 5 seconds of every 40 seconds.Repeats for each channelSet the Output OFF-DelaySensor OutputOutput EndsStartsThe output OFF-delay represents the time interval, following termination of sensing, during which the outputs remain active. The selected delay will apply to all three outputs.An output OFF-delay value up to 40 milliseconds may be set. The figure shows a 20 ms OFF-delay (d_20). The output continues for an interval after sensing stops (applies to all outputs).1.Press Set for more than six seconds.2.Click Select until the desired delay setting is displayed. You may choose from the following delay settings:•d_00 (no delay)•d_05 (5 ms delay)•d_10 (10 ms delay)•d_20 (20 ms delay)•d_30 (30 ms delay)•d_40 (40 ms delay)The Output LED is off (no target) and all Channel Status LEDs are off.3.Click Set to save the settings.The Output LED is off (no target) and all Channel Status LEDs are off. The display shows run (no delay selected) or rund (delay selected).Set the Sensing Response SpeedThe QCX50 models feature two selectable sensing response speeds: Normal and Fast. At either speed, sensing resolution is improved over that of the QC50 models.The faster the speed, the lower the resolution. Normal speed is the recommended mode for most applications and provides the best resolution. Normal speed enables such high-resolution sensing as differentiating between similar shades of beige.1.To access the selection mode, press and hold Set and Select together for more than two seconds.The current selection is displayed (norm or FASt).2.Click Select to toggle between fast and normal speeds.3.Press Set for more than two seconds or wait 20 seconds for the sensor to time out and return to Run mode with new settings.The new selection is displayed (norm or FASt).P/N 111523 Rev. D - Tel: +1-763-544-31643Using the Gating FunctionThe output function of the sensor's color detection can be gated using the sensor's red wire (see Wiring Diagrams on page 5). Using this function controls the sensor's output and permits output to occur only when signaled by the use of the red wire. This output control feature is most useful when multiple repeats of a color could occur, such as with registration marks in a margin, yet only one point on the work is needed for an accurate determination. Gating is also known as triggering, windowing, inhibiting, or synchronization.In the sensor's normal operating state (output enabled, red wire open or low), the sensor responds to all taught colors (the Output LED,Channel Status LEDs, and all outputs respond to target conditions). When the red wire is held high (output disabled, red wire at high supply potential), the sensor does not respond to the taught colors (LEDs do not light and outputs do not conduct; i.e., inhibit).Disable the Push ButtonsLock out the push buttons to prevent accidental or unauthorized adjustments on the production floor.1.Connect a switch between the Gate input and +10 to 30 V dc.The sensor is ready for the keypad to be enabled or disabled.2.To disable the buttons: close the Gate switch and power up the sensor.The sensor push buttons are disabled.3.To enable the buttons: open the Gate switch and power up the sensor.The sensor push buttons are enabled.Installing the Color SensorWhen sensing glossy surfaces, install the sensor at approximately a 15° angle with respect to the target.When the sensor is ON, the white emitter beam is ON and “run” or “rund”appears on the 4-digit status display.1.Determine the best position for the swivel connector (back, side, or bottom of the sensor).2.Measure the appropriate operating distance from the front surface of the sensor optics to the point where the sensor is to befastened.Typically, the ideal distance is 20 mm (0.8 in).3.Fasten the sensor to its intended location using two screws (M4 × 35 or longer).Any two of three holes in the housing may be used for this purpose.4.Attach the power cable to the sensor’s connector.

WAVELENGTH CALIBRATION TABLE (57)1Safety measuresThe spectrophotometer complies with the safety standard IР STB 14254-96 standard.Prior to the operation, read the safety rules and regulations for electric equipment carefully and follow the necessary instructions for operation of the spectrophotometer. One should be clearly aware of danger of hazardous internal and external voltages.CAUTION!It is PROHIBITED to operate the spectrophotometer with the removed housing.It is PROHIBITED to operate the spectrophotometer after ingress of water.It is PROHIBITED to operate the spectrophotometer without proper grounding.2Description and operation of Photon RT spectrophotometer2.1PurposeThe Photon RT universal scanning spectrophotometer (further referred to as spectrophotometer) is designed to measure optical characteristics of absolute specular reflectance, transmittance, absorptance, and optical density of planar optical samples with thin film coatings at variable angles and in the polarized light.The spectrophotometer is developed on the basis of the Czerny-Turner monochromator. The spectrophotometer is intended for operation in laboratory conditions in accordance with the following requirements:∙ambient temperature – from +10 0С to +28 0С;∙relative humidity – below 80 % at the temperature + 25 оС;∙atmospheric pressure – from 84 kPa to 106.7 kPa∙proper grounding at the connection point of spectrophotometer and computer2.2Product SpecificationsSee Appendix 1for specifications of your individual spectrophotometer.2.3Complete set of spectrophotometerSee Appendix 2 for complete set of your individual spectrophotometer.2.4Configuration of spectrophotometerFigure 2.4.1 shows the spectrophotometer (front view) with an open lid.The lid of the measuring compartment 1 ensures protection against ambient illumination. In the process of measurement a sample is placed on the sample holder 3 of the sample stage 2 and is fastened with clamps 4. When the spectrophotometer is switched on, red-color flickering of indicator light-emitting diode (LED) 7 continues until the end of the spectrophotometer initialization and self-check procedure. When the spectrophotometer is in the off-measuring mode (“ready” mode), flickering of the indicator LED is green. The indicator LED 7 flickers red during the measurement process, and red-yellow during the change of diffraction gratings. The spectrophotometer is switched on and off by switch 6.Photodetector unit 5 is positioned at a supporting holder of the photodetector drive. The drive provides for positioning of photodetectors along the optical axis for the angles from 16˚ to 183˚: in the case of reflectance measuring -synchronously or non-synchronously with the stage rotation, in the case of transmittance measuring - photodetectors are positioned at normal angle of incidence or any angle within 0˚ - 75˚ range selected by the user.Rotation of stage 2 in the horizontal plane around the optical axis is realized from 0˚ to 75˚. Both rotations are executed with 0,10 step.The value of the incidence angle on the measured surface is set in the field «Measuring parameters» (see Subsection 2.4.2). The position of photodetector is adjusted automatically with the measuring mode («TRANSMITTANCE» or «REFLECTANCE») and depending on the rotation angle of sample stage 2. Rotation angles of sample stage 2 and photodetector unit 5 can be also realized independently in the manual mode for measurement of complex prismatic units. The motorized displacement of photodetector unit perpendicular to the axis of the light beam allows measuring the transmittance of thick samples at high angles up to 75˚. Operation of the beam displacement calculator is described in section 2.4.For the adequate measurement of reflectance, the sample’s surface must be pressed to the stage surface.

The spectra for «S» and «P» polarizations are displayed in darkened colors.3.3.5Transmittance measurement of thick samples at high angles of incidence.When measuring transmittance of thick optical samples at high angles of incidence, the parallel displacement of transmitted beam occurs. The value of beam displacement depends on three factors: angle of incidence, physical thickness of the sample and refractive index of the sample material.The PHOTON RT spectrophotometer offers a possibility for correct transmittance measurement of thick sample at high angles using the built-in “Beam displacement calculator” option (See also Section 3.4.8).

The value of beam displacement (in mm) will be immediately displayed in the “Detector displacement, mm” field of the “Display options” menu (see Figure 3.4.4).∙Press the button«APPLY» in the “Display options” menu (see Figure 3.4.4).∙Start the measuring process by pressing the button «MEASUREMENT». When the process is finished, the screen displays the graph for transmittance spectra of the sample at a user-selected angle of incidence.∙Change the beam displacement value for “0” in the “Detector displacement, mm” field of the “Display options” menu (see Figure 3.4.4) if no further transmittance measurements of thick samples at highangles of incidence are required.∙Press the button«APPLY» in the “Display options” menu (see Figure 3.4.4).The beam displacement of the detectors can also be realized by setting the check box in the field "Detector autodisplacement" (see. Figure 3.4.3). The following lines become active: "Sample thickness, mm" and "Refractive index n”. The value of the sample thickness and the average refractive index of the sample material for the selected wavelength range shall be indicated in the appropriate fields. After clicking the "Apply" button, the value of detector displacement will be displayed in the "Detector displacement, mm" field. The detectors will immediately move at the calculated value of displacement.3.3.6Measurement of complex refractive index and layer thicknessOptical constants of the material layers are characterized with a number of parameters. Several of them are important for experts involved in optical design of the multilayer coatings – refractive index (n), layer thickness (d) and extinction coefficient (k).The NKD calculation software is designed to calculate the refractive index (n), extinction coefficient (k) and layer thickness (d) of the single homogenous layers on the known substrate using the photometric reverse engineering method. Calculations of optical parameters of the thin film layers is based on measuring the reflectance of the coated substrate in a polarized light (Rp and Rs values) for several angles of incidence. Typically, 3 to 8 angles of incidence are sufficient for correct measurement and calculation. Recommended sampling pitch is from 5 to 20 nm. The wedged substrate (with not less than 5 deg wedge angle) must be used for correct measurement to exclude reflectance from the back surface. BK7 and SiO2 substrates are recommended as test substrates for described measurement. It is necessary to increase the slid with 1,5 times to compensate for decreased signal in the PS measurement mode.∙Switch on the spectrophotometer.∙Start the «PhotonSoft».。

MASCHINE!MASCHINE is a groove production studio that implements the familiar working style of classi-cal groove boxes along with the advantages of a computer based system. MASCHINE is ideal for making music live, as well as in the studio. It’s the hands-on aspect of a dedicated instru-ment, the MASCHINE hardware controller, united with the advanced editing features of the MASCHINE software.Creating beats is often not very intuitive with a computer, but using the MASCHINE hardware controller to do it makes it easy and fun. You can tap in freely with the pads or use Note Re-peat to jam along. Alternatively, build your beats using the step sequencer just as in classic drum machines.Patterns can be intuitively combined and rearranged on the fly to form larger ideas. You can try out several different versions of a song without ever having to stop the music.Since you can integrate it into any sequencer that supports VST, AU, or AAX plug-ins, you can reap the benefits in almost any software setup, or use it as a stand-alone application. You can sample your own material, slice loops and rearrange them easily.However, MASCHINE is a lot more than an ordinary groovebox or sampler: it comes with an inspiring 7-gigabyte library, and a sophisticated, yet easy to use tag-based Browser to give you instant access to the sounds you are looking for.What’s more, MASCHINE provides lots of options for manipulating your sounds via internal ef-fects and other sound-shaping possibilities. You can also control external MIDI hardware and 3rd-party software with the MASCHINE hardware controller, while customizing the functions of the pads, knobs and buttons according to your needs utilizing the included Controller Editor application. We hope you enjoy this fantastic instrument as much as we do. Now let’s get go-ing!—The MASCHINE team at Native Instruments.MASCHINE Documentation1.1MASCHINE DocumentationNative Instruments provide many information sources regarding MASCHINE. The main docu-ments should be read in the following sequence:1.MASCHINE MIKRO Quick Start Guide: This animated online guide provides a practical ap-proach to help you learn the basic of MASCHINE MIKRO. The guide is available from theNative Instruments website: https:///maschine-mikro-quick-start/2.MASCHINE Manual (this document): The MASCHINE Manual provides you with a compre-hensive description of all MASCHINE software and hardware features.Additional documentation sources provide you with details on more specific topics:►Online Support Videos: You can find a number of support videos on The Official Native In-struments Support Channel under the following URL: https:///NIsupport-EN. We recommend that you follow along with these instructions while the respective ap-plication is running on your computer.Other Online Resources:If you are experiencing problems related to your Native Instruments product that the supplied documentation does not cover, there are several ways of getting help:▪Knowledge Base▪User Forum▪Technical Support▪Registration SupportYou will find more information on these subjects in the chapter Troubleshooting.Document Conventions1.2Document ConventionsThis section introduces you to the signage and text highlighting used in this manual. This man-ual uses particular formatting to point out special facts and to warn you of potential issues.The icons introducing these notes let you see what kind of information is to be expected:This document uses particular formatting to point out special facts and to warn you of poten-tial issues. The icons introducing the following notes let you see what kind of information canbe expected:Furthermore, the following formatting is used:▪Text appearing in (drop-down) menus (such as Open…, Save as… etc.) in the software andpaths to locations on your hard disk or other storage devices is printed in italics.▪Text appearing elsewhere (labels of buttons, controls, text next to checkboxes etc.) in thesoftware is printed in blue. Whenever you see this formatting applied, you will find thesame text appearing somewhere on the screen.▪Text appearing on the displays of the controller is printed in light grey. Whenever you seethis formatting applied, you will find the same text on a controller display.▪Text appearing on labels of the hardware controller is printed in orange. Whenever you seethis formatting applied, you will find the same text on the controller.▪Important names and concepts are printed in bold.▪References to keys on your computer’s keyboard you’ll find put in square brackets (e.g.,“Press [Shift] + [Enter]”).►Single instructions are introduced by this play button type arrow.→Results of actions are introduced by this smaller arrow.Naming ConventionThroughout the documentation we will refer to MASCHINE controller (or just controller) as the hardware controller and MASCHINE software as the software installed on your computer.The term “effect” will sometimes be abbreviated as “FX” when referring to elements in the MA-SCHINE software and hardware. These terms have the same meaning.Button Combinations and Shortcuts on Your ControllerMost instructions will use the “+” sign to indicate buttons (or buttons and pads) that must be pressed simultaneously, starting with the button indicated first. E.g., an instruction such as:“Press SHIFT + PLAY”means:1.Press and hold SHIFT.2.While holding SHIFT, press PLAY and release it.3.Release SHIFT.1.3New Features in MASCHINE2.8The following new features have been added to MASCHINE: Integration▪Browse on , create your own collections of loops and one-shots and send them directly to the MASCHINE browser.Improvements to the Browser▪Samples are now cataloged in separate Loops and One-shots tabs in the Browser.▪Previews of loops selected in the Browser will be played in sync with the current project.When a loop is selected with Prehear turned on, it will begin playing immediately in-sync with the project if transport is running. If a loop preview starts part-way through the loop, the loop will play once more for its full length to ensure you get to hear the entire loop once in context with your project.▪Filters and product selections will be remembered when switching between content types and Factory/User Libraries in the Browser.▪Browser content synchronization between multiple running instances. When running multi-ple instances of MASCHINE, either as Standalone and/or as a plug-in, updates to the Li-brary will be synced across the instances. For example, if you delete a sample from your User Library in one instance, the sample will no longer be present in the other instances.Similarly, if you save a preset in one instance, that preset will then be available in the oth-er instances, too.▪Edits made to samples in the Factory Libraries will be saved to the Standard User Directo-ry.For more information on these new features, refer to the following chapter ↑4, Browser. Improvements to the MASCHINE MIKRO MK3 Controller▪You can now set sample Start and End points using the controller. For more information refer to ↑17.3.1, Using the Edit Page.Improved Support for A-Series Keyboards▪When Browsing with A-Series keyboards, you can now jump quickly to the results list by holding SHIFT and pushing right on the 4D Encoder.▪When Browsing with A-Series keyboards, you can fast scroll through the Browser results list by holding SHIFT and twisting the 4D Encoder.▪Mute and Solo Sounds and Groups from A-Series keyboards. Sounds are muted in TRACK mode while Groups are muted in IDEAS.。
