measured when doing a shading measurement. Therefore, it measures the emission in the 
direction towards the device under test (e.g., a camera system). Choose a reference point on the 
chart for the calibration. When using an OECF chart, we recommend the field with the lowest 
density. 

 

Illuminance calibration

: Illuminance is a measurement in lux of how much light illuminants a 

surface. In other words, it is a measure of the illumination in the direction of the light source and is 
not suitable for a measurement on the chart. 

 

Be sure to perform the calibration in a fully darkened room. Any foreign light pollution 

will result in measurement errors, and an external measurement device is needed to 

calibrate the Vega. We recommend using a Class L 

Luminancemeter/Illuminancemeter. 

 

Open the context menu of the module you want to calibrate to start the calibration process.

The internal Sensors of the Vega perform a reference measurement. This measurement can 
take up to a minute. 

 

 

Figure 10: External Measurement Device needed 

Take your reference measurement on a suitable region with your external measurement device 
and select OK. In the following dialog, you can set the measured luminance or illuminance 
value.
