Summary

This paper deals with the selection of equipment for digital surface topography measurements and the theoretical and practical aspects of the digital computer programming required.

Amplitude and frequency characterization of a surface by computation of digital records is discussed with reference to engineering requirements and the practical accuracy obtainable. The application of these techniques to three-dimensional surface measurements is also included.
