Optical Performance Measurement Redefined
FPM-505R
Reflective Display Measurement System
The FPM-505R is designed for reflective measurements and other standard optical performance tests of reflective, transflective, emissive, and transmissive displays.
If you need to test sunlight readability, measure thermal performance, or automate optical tests for automotive, avionic, or mobile displays, the 505R can handle it all.

Automated test pattern generation
Of course, automated display testing doesn’t stop with the instrument and a positioning system. You need to automate display drive using a lcd tester or test pattern generator that can drive display modules or finished products.
Our most popular lcd tester for display drive is our T-Drive III but as with optical instruments, our ViewPoint software can interface with most test pattern generators on the market today. We even offer custom software interfaces to work with specialty LCD drive equipment.
If you need a test pattern generator as part of your optical measurement system, check out our LCD Testers or Contact Us to find out which lcd tester will work with your displays.
Customizable reports
The FPM-505R comes standard with Microsoft Excel for data reporting. Use one of our pre-formatted reports or design your own.
Software
TestStand - Automated Test Sequencer
Features
- Access motion base, instruments, test pattern generators, and other supported devices using test objects
- Structure test steps into sequences and subsequences with global and local parameters
- Powerful development interface for sequence design and debugging
- Easy to user interface for sequence operation and control.

ViewPoint - Manual Control Interface
The FPM-505R comes with a sleek user interface for manual control called ViewPoint. In a single interface, the user can control the instruments, light sources, test pattern generators, and motion base. ViewPoint can be customized with software controls for your specific instruments, test pattern generators, and power supplies.
Features
