TraceBoss+ software combines surface roughness and crosshatch measurement and analysis

Digital Metrology Solutions has introduced TraceBoss+ software, integrating surface texture and crosshatch measurement in a single package.

The software interfaces with most portable surface roughness gages. A user can take a measurement, view the results and graphics full screen, save data, and reload it for comparison and statistical process control. It reports most common roughness parameters, showing at a glance whether a surface passes or fails user-provided limits.

The built-in crosshatch functionality lets a user acquire an image of surface texture from any USB equipped microscope. Simple tools make it nearly instantaneous to obtain the crosshatch angle, while zoom and pan functions let an operator navigate through high resolution image data to review the cleanliness and consistency of honing processes.

Perhaps most importantly, the crosshatch angle information is added to the parameter results, so the data and image can be output along with surface roughness data in a single file. All of the data can also be printed in a concise, easy-to-share report.
