Analysis Setup
(PosiTector RTR-3D probes only)
Setup 2D and 3D analysis parameters.
2D Parameters
(PosiTector RTR-3D probes only)
2D parameters are calculated from a virtual trace across the image area. When the
Orientation is set to Horizontal X or Vertical Y directions, the Evaluation Length is equal
to 3.8mm, minus double the length of the selected discard filter. When the Orientation is
set to Diagonal XY or Diagonal YX directions, the Evaluation Length is equal to 5.4mm,
minus double the length of the selected discard filter.
The 2D Parameters Menu allows the operator to select 2D analysis parameters to be
displayed by the gage (a maximum of 6 parameters can be selected from the 2D and
3D Parameter lists).
Rpc Boundary C1
(PosiTector RTR-3D probes only)
Defines the boundary lines located equidistant above and below the profile mean line. A
peak is counted after the trace goes below the lower boundary line and above the upper
boundary line. The default is 0.5 microns.
Rpc Peak count
(PosiTector RTR-3D probes only)
The number of peaks per unit length within the evaluation length.
Ra
(PosiTector RTR-3D probes only)
Ra Roughness average: arithmetic average of the absolute values of the profile height
deviations within the evaluation length measured from the mean line.
Rv
(PosiTector RTR-3D probes only)
Rv Maximum profile valley depth: the distance between the deepest valley and the
mean line within the evaluation length.
