Using a Minolta Color Analyzer, or equivalent, in accordance with

the manufacturer's instructions, this is:

x=0.267 ± 0.01, y=0.282 ± 0.01.

manufacturer's instructions, this is:

x=0.297 ± 0.01, y=0.320 ± 0.01.

6. Set Contrast to maximum.

7. Set RV600 using the color analyzer, to give 200 nits ± 5 nits (cd/m²)

in the white block.

8. Select pattern D, Gray Scale Blocks.

9. Check, at maximum and minimum contrast, that the gradation of the

blocks is even from black through white with no color tinges.
