Get more from your measurements
Roughness measurements hold a wealth of information to control and improve your processes. Yet most gauges reduce that data to a few parameters, a tiny graph, or maybe a static PDF. That’s just not enough to tell you how a part is performing—or why it failed.
OmniSurf lets you see your profile data like never before. It gives you the tools to develop better specifications, better processes, and better surfaces—and to share that data with your entire team.
Design with data
OmniSurf puts roughness analysis in the hands of the people designing parts and making decisions about parts, processes, and quality. It takes your understanding to a new level as you begin to see the surface as meaningful shapes rather than just a list of numbers.
With OmniSurf engineers and designers can explore data from across the process—and across the supply chain. Easily open, compare, share, and save data from many instruments. It gives you control over your surface data that you’ve never had before!
Software that “teaches” … easy to learn, powerful to use
OmniSurf is easy to learn and use, whether you have a background in measurement or not. The interface walks you through the measurement process so you can easily see the effects of every analysis choice. All settings are organized and streamlined, so you don’t have to hunt through screens to find what you need (or wonder how you got there!). Drag and drop files, batch process using saved settings…and a massive Help system along with training videos are always just a click away.
Power users will find the tools they need for rigorous analysis as well. OmniSurf is equipped to tackle the toughest analysis needs with advanced geometries, hundreds of ISO and ASME surface texture parameters, a huge selection of filtering options, and powerful analysis tools for targeted studies.

OmniSurf guides you through analysis
Most surface analysis software assumes you’re already an expert in metrology and measurement. OmniSurf is different. It provides tools and visualizations that guide you through the analysis process to help you confidently explore your surfaces and get to the answers you need.
OmniSurf’s Pre-Processing tools quickly clean up missing pixels and outliers while preserving data integrity in the process.
To see surface detail, you first need to remove the overall geometry. OmniSurf gives you a range of options to match surface geometries—even aspheric optical surfaces, and free form surfaces for optics and crowned bearings. Interactive tools help you optimize the fit, even on challenging surfaces.
OmniSurf helps you quickly filter surface data to the shapes that matter for your parts to perform, from short-wavelength roughness to longer wavelength waviness and form. Ten filter types let you meet ISO 16610 and 16620 specifications, including robust filters that overcome outlying data. The Wavelength Content graph—unique to OmniSurf—shows the shapes in your data more clearly than any other software, so you can build filter specifications based on real-world data.

Rich visualizations help you see texture. Real numbers help you control it. OmniSurf has you covered, with the parameters you need to specify and control surface texture. OmniSurf calculates hundreds of ISO 29210 and ASME parameters, as well as unique parameters tailored for particular applications. Export, save, and print as few or as many parameters as your application requires.
Use OmniSurf to calculate hundreds of ISO 29210, ASME, and function-specific parameters for roughness, waviness, and form. Use real-world data to develop specifications that control the most critical aspects of your part performance.
Analysis made easy
See every step of your analysis
OmniSurf shows you the “before” and “after” for every analysis operation. It puts you in control of the analysis—so much more powerful than a few parameter numbers from a “black box.”
Explore your data
Most measurement systems give you a few parameter values to interpret.
OmniSurf takes you far beyond “the numbers,” letting you view and explore data from raw measurement to roughness. Zoom in on key features, measure spacings and heights with cursors, export sub-regions, and apply a broad range of tools to analzye roughness, waviness, wear, and more.
In short, there simply isn’t a more powerful toolbox for analyzing surface profiles!
Intuitive filtering
Developing filtering specifications has often been more art than science. OmniSurf gives you powerful tools to determine filter settings based on real parts and data. The unique Wavelength Content graph shows you the dominant shapes (wavelengths) in your profile. Use cursors to determine filter cutoffs visually to separate data into form, waviness, and roughness.

Batch processing
OmniSurf is lightning-fast at handling large numbers of datasets. Import hundreds of prototype datasets to hone process specifications. Quickly summarize data from runoffs or qualifications to establish new processes. Analyze parameters across days of production in seconds. And, analyze data to quickly get to the source of quality issues when they arise.
During batch processing you can export data to share with suppliers and customers to quickly resolve issues or discrepancies. You can even build a PowerPoint presentation from your data, all with a click!
The numbers that matter
We’ve all heard that average roughness (Ra) is not enough to control a process. So what’s beyond Ra?
OmniSurf gives you access to hundreds of ISO 21920 and ASME surface texture parameters, as well as Digital Metrology’s own unique parameters, to control what matters for your surface functions. Now you can specify roughness, waviness, primary, and form parameters that relate directly to performance — rather than inferring performance from surface heights.

Powerful analysis tools
OmniSurf features dozens of analysis tools to help you design, specify, and control part quality.
Material Ratio & Probability
OmniSurf’s Material Ratio Curve and Material Probability Curve make it easy to see the peak, valley and core regions of a surface and provide great insight into how a surface will run in and wear.
Macro Wear Analysis
Macro Wear Analysis lets you calculate key parameters about large-scale and accelerated wear, such as wear depth and wear volume. This powerful tool makes it easy to explore and analyze a wear scar and to understand how the surface has been worn.
Micro Wear Analysis
The future of wear analysis! The new Micro Wear Analysis lets you compare “worn” and “unworn” data to accurately measure microscopic amounts of wear, without accelerated testing. It even works when the “before” and “after” data aren’t from the same area of the surface—or even from the same part!
Morphological Filters
Morphological filters predict how a relatively soft surface (e.g., a gasket or seal) will interact with a rigid surface. The closing filter (“virtual gasket”) reveals voids where leaks could occur, while the opening filter highlights stress concentrators that could lead to cracking, penetration points in an oil film, etc.
Data Exclusion
When you need to exclude portions of the measured profile from your analysis, OmniSurf makes it easy. Quickly select zones with cursors, remove multiple zones—even exclude zones just for geometry removal.
Aspheric Geometry
Import an aspheric prescription or freeform shape to quickly remove overall geometry from challenging surfaces.
ISO 16610 Filtering
Ten filter options—including five robust filters—are available to help you develop specs that satisfy ISO requirements. Use the interactive filtering and Wavelength Content graph to quickly develop specifications based on real part data.
Stylus Flanking
Slope Highlighting indicates regions of steep slopes – perhaps where a stylus may contact the surface at the flank rather than at the tip. The analysis helps spot areas of a surface where there may be folded material.
ISO 21920 Parameters
Hundreds of ISO, ASME, and unique Digital Metrology texture parameters let you develop specifications that relate directly to actual part functions.
The bottom line
OmniSurf lets you explore and understand your surfaces, with incredible horsepower and a streamlined interface – all at a price that makes the buying decision one of the easiest you’ll ever make. You also get upgrades for the lifetime of the software, and no annual maintenance fees.
