ISO-Standardized Filtering for DektakXT Stylus Profilers

ISO-Standardized Filtering for DektakXT Stylus Profilers

When various parameters of a surface - such as roughness, step heights, or depths - are measured by any metrology method, only a representation of the surface characteristics is obtained. Nevertheless, the potential of proper filtering for data analysis carried out in accordance with established ISO standardized techniques can never be underestimated while aspiring to provide the most reproducible and highly accurate results for a measuring system.
