Surface texture profile
This plugin is used to analyze amplitude parameters of a centered profile on the surface, in accordance with ISO 4287: Geometrical product specifications (GPS) – profile standard. The surface has to be processed following ISO 16610: Geometrical product specifications (GPS) – Filtration, to obtain the profile roughness parameters (Rx) and separate them from the waviness parameters (Wx).
