DCLP.01 includes 4 color LED light sources, a photo-receiving array, a V/F converter, ROM memory, and 4-segment numeric display.

DCLP.02 includes 4 color LED light sources, a photo-receiving array, a micro-processor, and a 4-segment numeric display.

DCLP.03 includes an accessory pen with a cable connection to a smart phone and APP for creating a number associated with the Color under test.
