Software Illustration-Main Analysis

The topography values and the visual impression are not only measured but are also transformed by an analysis tool into various roughness parameters with standard deviation values. All measurements and calculations are carried out via interaction of the measuring head and the notebook, in which data storage, evaluation and analysis take place. Data can also be exported to other programs for further calculation.

 • Visual Impression: overall appearance of a surface to the human eye

 • Roughness Value: complex micro- and macro- structure

 • 3D Mapping: physical topography

 • Height 2D Mapping: two dimensional topography
