## Step 11: Analyze a Gear

Once you have finished measuring your gear, you can analyze the data and create reports:

- Cylinder Gear: Pitch/Runout, Profile/Helix or Tip/Root Circle reports

- Bevel Gear: Pitch/Runout or Topography reports

To create a report:

1. Select the Measure | Analyze menu option...

... or the Analyze toolbar icon...

... to open the Analysis Setup dialog box. The available options and plot information will vary depending on the type of gear that you are defining.

2. Make the needed changes to the parameters in the dialog box according to your gear type:

- Cylinder Gear: See "Analyzing a Cylinder Gear - CMM" for CCM or "Analyze a Cylinder Gear - Vision Machine" for vision systems.

- Bevel Gear: See "Analyzing a Bevel Gear".

3. Provide Plot Information that will be included in the header of your report.

4. Click Analyze, or click Cancel to abort report creation.

Once you click Create Report, the measurement data is spooled to the Quindos PageViewer application where you can view and print your report(s). See "Appendix A: Using Quindos PageViewer".

Important! Quindos PageViewer depends on PC-DMIS Gear being open. If you close PC-DMIS Gear, Quindos PageViewer and any open analysis reports will also close.
