(Digital Metrology Solutions: Columbus, IN) – Digital Metrology Solutions, provider of measurement software, consulting, and training, has introduced the TraceBoss software package for portable roughness gages.

“Most portable gages show you a roughness number or two and perhaps a small image of a profile on a tiny screen,” says Mark Malburg, president of Digital Metrology Solutions. “As a result, many users are eager to do more with their data. TraceBoss gives portable gage users the power of a high-end instrument at a far lower price, and in an easy-to use package.”

The TraceBoss software interfaces with most portable surface roughness gages via a USB connection. One click in TraceBoss configures the gage, initiates a measurement, and presents full-screen results and graphics in high resolution, optimizing the software display for the highest visibility in shop environments. With most portable gages, the profile and data cannot be easily saved or recalled. But TraceBoss makes it possible for a gage user to save data and easily reload it for comparisons, traceability, and statistical process control.
