Digital Metrology Solutions Introduces Software for Portable Roughness Gages
The TraceBoss software package configures the gage, initiates a measurement and presents the results and graphics full screen and in high resolution.
Digital Metrology Solutions, provider of measurement software, consulting and training, has introduced the TraceBoss software package for portable roughness gages.
The TraceBoss software interfaces with most portable surface roughness gages via a USB connection. One click in TraceBoss configures the gage, initiates a measurement and presents the results and graphics full screen and in high resolution. The software display is optimized for the highest visibility in shop environments.
With most portable gages, the profile and data cannot be easily saved or recalled. TraceBoss makes it possible for a gage user to save data and easily reload it for comparisons, traceability and statistical process control.
TraceBoss calculates and reports most common roughness parameters. Optional tolerance highlighting quickly shows whether a surface passes or fails relative to user-provided limits. A side-by-side display shows the relationship between Rk and Rq family parameters and the peaks and valleys that they describe.
A wide range of portable surface gages from Zeiss/Accretech, Mahr, Taylor Hobson and Jenoptik/Hommel Etamic connect to TraceBoss with minimal setup. The help system includes quick setup guides for each supported gage and step-by-step instructions for all software functions.
