Michigan Metrology Glossary of Texture Parameters
Michigan Metrology measurement reports contain an Excel spreadsheet with various surface texture parameters, which may include parameters from the following groups:
- 3D Height Parameters
- 3D Spatial Parameters
- 3D Functional Parameters
- 3D Hybrid Parameters
- 2D Stylus X and Y Parameters
- Legacy (WYKO) 3D Parameters.
This
glossary will describe each of these surface roughness measurement parameters. The definitions and more
detailed discussions of the various surface texture parameters may be found
in the following references:
