LightCon
Powerful software for conformity assessment of headlights and retroreflectors
Complete rule database and comprehensive graphic visualization in the form of isocandela diagrams
LightCon laboratory software evaluates measurements with the systems of the Optronik line on external automotive lighting, variable message signs, retroreflectors and airfield lighting. It offers simple user guidance, high flexibility and fast orientation due to a clearly structured setup.
Use of LightCon guarantees the highly efficient implementation of complex measurement tasks in product development, quality control or type testing / homologation. Complete goniophotometric measurement sequences are performed automatically; test reports, rules, objects and projects are created and managed in a rule database.
The user-friendly environment offers integration capabilities for a wide range of Instrument Systems hardware, e.g.
- AMS goniometer (AMS 200, 3000 and 5000)
- DSP photometer (DSP 10, DSP 200)
- RMS 1200 retroreflectometer
- CM 10 tristimulus colorimeter
- LM 20 luminance meter for measurement of license plate illumination
- CAS 140D array spectroradiometer (partial integration)
- Positioning systems
- Power sources
The software can be operated under Windows 10 (64bit).
