When using the color meter, you can choose between different color spaces (CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, and LUV) and 45/0 optics angle. After a measurement with the color meter, the reading can be used as a named reference value while other readings can be recorded as a sample and later be compared to the reference value easily for Pass/Fail determination.
