MountainsMap® SPM selected features
Desktop publishing environment
 Build your analysis report visually frame by frame in an intuitive desktop publishing environment, working in onscreen, portrait or landscape format.
Productivity features
 Save common sequences of analysis steps and reuse them in any document.
 Use any document as a template for the automatic analysis of similar measurement data sets.
 Navigate to anywhere in a document with a single click using the page viewer.
Full metrological traceability
 Fine tune any step at any time in the analysis workflow, which assures full metrological traceability.
Real time 3D imaging
 Visualize, manipulate and fly over surfaces in real time, record flights as movies.
 Select any color palette for the vertical scale and fine tune it automatically or interactively to highlight surface features.
 Superimpose any image on the surface topography (for example phase)
Data correction and denoising
 Level surfaces, define axis symmetries and rotation, set axis units, delete aberrant lines, correct anomalous lines, remove spikes by threshholding, resample for better resolution, fill in missing data points, retouch points, remove form, apply spatial filters to reveal surface features, apply tip deconvolution.
Dimensions
 Measure distances, angles, areas and volumes of bumps/holes, and step heights on profiles and surfaces.
Roughness & waviness analysis
 Carry out 3D roughness and waviness analysis based on the latest ISO 16610 advanced filtering techniques (robust Gaussian and spline filters).
3D analytical studies
 Study 3D bearing ratio and depth distribution, analyze the material/void composition and thickness of vertical slices, and subtract one surface from another (for example to analyze wear).
ISO parameters
 Calculate 3D height and bearing ratio parameters (ISO 25178, EUR 15178), primary and roughness parameters (ISO 4287).
