Advanced Texture MetroPro Application

The MetroPro Advanced Texture Application provides a complete set of controls, plots, and results, to measure and quantify the surface texture of a test part. It can be used with any of Zygo Corporation’s microscopes, including the NewView and Maxim. The application is ideal for measuring surfaces that are subject to wear, including disk drive media, magnetic tape, machined metal, and films. It can also be used for any surface in which you want to visualize and measure the components of surface texture.

Through digital filtering of the test data, the surface characteristics of the test part are broken down into waviness, roughness, and high frequency results. For most results, letters are used to indicate the result’s classification; I refers to input or nonfiltered data; W refers to waviness data, or the more widely spaced component of surface texture; R refers to roughness data, or the smaller irregularities of the surface; and HiF refers to high frequency data, or the finer surface irregularities.

Advanced Texture

The application is licensed as part of standard MetroPro. For information on licensing, see the MetroPro Quick-Start Guide.

The Advanced Texture Application:

  • Displays graphics and numeric results of the test surface as input, waviness, and roughness data.
  • Provides simple to use and apply filtering tool.
  • Includes advanced surface analysis options, such as the peaks and valleys analysis, bearing ratio results, summits analysis, and volume results.
