NAME=Ball
This is the ball that fits in between the teeth and touches at or near the pitch diameter. Consult your gear standard for more information.
NAME=Clocking
Clocking sets the positive X axis of the alignment on the symmetry point of the two points. Using a clocking tooth to determine the X and Y axis for alignment, we need to take two clocking points on a tooth.
NAME=Crowning
This is defined in your gear standard.
NAME=Cylinder Gear
Also referred to as a spur gear
NAME=Def. autom
Default automatic calculation.
NAME=FA
FA is a symbol used by your gear standard. It specifies the distance between two design profiles which enclose the actual profile over the evaluation range. This is subject to the provisions of the fHA symbol. Please see the appropriate gear standard for a detailed definition of this value.
NAME=FB
FB is a symbol used by your gear standard. It specifies the distance between two design helices which enclose the actual helix over the evaluation range. Please see the appropriate gear standard for a detailed definition of this value.
NAME=ffA
ffA is a symbol used by your gear standard. It specifies the distance between two profiles parallel to the mean profile which enclose the actual profile over the evaluation range. Please see the appropriate gear standard for a detailed definition of this value.
NAME=ffB
ffB is a symbol used by your gear standard. It specifies the distance between the two design helices parallel to the mean helix which enclose the actual helix over the evaluation range. Please see the appropriate gear standard for a detailed definition of this value.
NAME=fHA
fHA is a symbol used by your gear standard. It specifies the distance between two design profiles which intersect the mean profile at the end points of the evaluation range. The profile angle deviation is positive when the mean profile rises from the design profile towards the nonmaterial side at the tooth tip; it is negative when the mean profile drops towards the material side at the tooth tip. Please see the appropriate gear standard for a detailed definition of this value.
NAME=fHB
fHB is a symbol used by your gear standard. It specifies the distance between two design helices which intersect the mean helix at the extremities of the evaluation range. The helix angle  deviation is positive when it increases the absolute value of the helix angle, and negative when it reduces it. In the case of spur gears, deviations are always positive. Their direction is identified by an index 'r' (in the sense of a right-hand thread), or 'l' (in the sense of a left-hand thread). Please see the appropriate gear standard for a detailed definition of this value.
NAME=Fp
Fp and fp are symbols used by your gear standard. They denote the individual (fp)deviation of the arc between two corresponding flanks or the cumulative (Fp) deviation of each calculated arc for the entire gear. Please see the appropriate gear standard for a detailed definition of this value.
NAME=Fr
Fr is a symbol used by your gear standard. It specifies the maximum amount of tooth runout in the radial direction, measured by indicating a pin or ball placed between two teeth at the central cone distance. This is the pitch cone runout. Please see the appropriate gear standard for a detailed definition of this value.
NAME=fu
fu is a symbol used by your gear standard. It specifies the deviation between the actual measured values of two consecutive transverse pitches of right or left flanks; it is equal to the difference between the transverse pitch deviations of two consecutive flanks.
NAME=Gear standard
The four widely-used gear standards are AGMA, DIN, ISO, and JIN. While similar, they also differ from each other. Because of their differences this documentation cannot cover the details of these standards. You will need to know the information about your particular standard in order to measure your gear and properly analyze your data.
NAME=Helix
This type of gear has angled teeth instead of the teeth being straight up and down like a spur gear.
NAME=Helix/Lead
It is a scan from the bottom to the top of the gear at the same radius from the center of the gear.
NAME=Normal Diametrical Pitch
The diametrical pitch corresponding to the normal circular pitch and calculated in the normal plane.
NAME=PC-DMIS Gear File
A PC-DMIS Gear file contains information that defines a spur or bevel gear inside PC-DMIS Gear. It also contains data from your last measurement. It has a “.pdg” filename extension.
NAME=Pitch
This can generally be considered as the "average" radius of the gear located between the Tip radius and the Root radius. Consult your gear standard for a detailed definition of this term.
NAME=Probe File
A probe file defines your current probe configuration so that PC-DMIS Gear can understand and use it. The information is stored inside file with a .prb filename extension.
NAME=Profile
Consult your gear standard for a detailed definition of this term.
NAME=Runout
The Runout value can be determined theoretically by placing balls of a specified diameter into the gaps of each tooth. The center points of all spheres will form a circle. This circle is compared to the pitch diameter circle where the difference between the largest radius and the smallest radius is considered to be the runoutvalue. Consult your gear standard for a detailed definition of this term.
NAME=Tip/Root
The tip is the “peak” of a gear tooth. The root is the “valley”.
