The RoadVista 933 Retroreflective Workstation is a benchtop fouraxis goniometer for testing sign sheeting and high visibility clothing.
The 933 serves as an inspection QA testing instrument for rapid tests at multiple measurement geometries.
The 933 Retroreflective Workstation measures retroreflection (RA) and the retroreflective color of materials. The 933 contains a 3-axis motorized goniometer that features continuously adjustable β1 (-60° to 60°), β2 (-60° to 60°), and ε (-180° to 180°) angles, as well as a motorized, continuously adjustable α (0.2° to 2°) angle mechanism. The observation angle on the color detector is fixed at 0.33°.
The primary light sensor meets ASTM E1709 requirements with the CIE standard human eye response in conjunction with the CIE illuminant “A” lamp. The photometric filter accurately measures different colors without the need to calculate correction factors. The color detector features a 3-channel RGB sensor used to generate CIE1931 color coordinates.
The instrument can be operated as a stand-alone unit, in which case the internal memory has the capacity to store readings and accompanying data for more than 30,000 measurements in non-volatile flash memory. Additionally, the 933 can be controlled over USB via simple ASCII commands to automate multi-measurement situations.
