"The MAZeT MTCS-INT-AB5 sensor board is another True Color sensor board based on JENCOLOR® filter technology," explains Frank Krumbein, product manager for color and spectrum sensing at MAZeT. "The MTCS-INT-AB5 can be connected directly to a light source via optical technology. Color values measured through the I²C interface, in accordance with CIE 1931, are transmitted to the corresponding electronics as input data for color management tasks. The board includes memory for storing calibration data and additional application-related user data, as well as an I²C interface. It functions well as an evaluation system for MTCS-CDCAF. Typical applications for the sensor board include measuring light colors for multispectral LED arrays and color calibration on monitors. It can also be used for photometric applications.".
DK MTCS-INT-AB5 Development Kit
The MTCS-INT-AB5 sensor board is also available as part of a development kit for system and application testing. The sensor board is housed in a housing and can be controlled via USB. The MTCS-INT-AB5 is easy to configure and calibrate using PC-compatible test software. Control files at the PC level handle the specifications for the sensor electronics and the sensor itself. Once the development team has successfully validated an application, the sensor electronics programming can be easily transferred to a microcontroller, and the sensor board from the test kit can be directly integrated into the device electronics via the I²C interface. MAZeT offers software libraries for initial testing and mapping. These libraries contain routines for color measurement and management. MAZeT can customize the basic software to meet user needs regarding the light sources used and various target parameters such as light color, brightness, power consumption, CRI, and more. MAZeT also offers preliminary simulations for feasibility analyses, and can do this in a way that supports development.
