Profiles are accessed under Analysis | Profiles on the menu bar.

Average Profiles

Applies To

surfaces

Minimum Version

LE Required

average prof button

average profiles

Displays  a Polar Transform , Average Radial Profile and an Average Angular Profile of the data.   Placing the cursor over the displays activates a crosshair,  the exact coordinates of which are displayed at the bottom of the screen. The polar transform is an "unwrapped" image of the surface around the current coordinate system center.

Calculation Options calc options icon

average prof opt

The number of points to sample for both the radial and angular directions can be specified.

Line Profile

Applies To

surfacesImages

Minimum Version

LE Required

line profile button

Line profile

Click and drag a line segment across the surface image. The resulting plot is a graph of surface heights along the line between the chosen endpoints.

Calculation Options calc options icon

line profile opt

Allows manual specification of the endpoints of the line profile. The number of samples in the resulting line is specified as the Sample Resolution. Endpoints can be entered in Cartesian X-Y coordinates, polar coordinates, or use the fiducial button and select a specific fiducial in the fiducial editor.

Path Profiles

Applies To

surfaces

Minimum Version

LE Required

A variety of vector Paths can be created on a surface. A path profile plot is a graph of surface heights along the path.
