6. ColorSense Program Main Screen
The main ColorSense screen has a large
window for all of the sub-screens and a
menu bar across the top. To get started,
connect between the CS24D color
sensor’s serial port and the PC serial port
(or USB port through an adapter), and
click on the Connect (auto) button.
The program will automatically find the
correct port and establish the connection.
Once connected the button will change
to read Disconnect (COMn) and the
Current Reading screen will appear.
The Current Reading screen shows the
current data (for whatever is in the
sensing area), the Sort Results (either
“No match” or the number of the Sort
Output that is active), and the Model and Serial number of the sensor.
The main menu is across the top of the screen. It is explained in detail below.
