## Analyzing a Cylinder Gear

The Analyze dialog box allows you to define parameters and provide report information for analysis reports. Once you complete the gear measurement, you can use this dialog box to produce a graphical report of the measurement (see the sample reports below).

| Clicking the Analyze button or selecting the Measure | Analyze menu option displays the Analyze dialog box.

Analyze dialog box

Analysis Options Area

For each of the analysis options, measured data must exist in order to select the option for inclusion in the report.

Pitch
/Runout
: This check box determines whether or not PC-DMIS Gear should produce a graphical report for Pitch and Runout. Click Parameters to change the options for the Pitch/Runout report. See the "Pitch/Runout Tab" topic.

Profile
/Helix
: This check box determines whether or not PC-DMIS Gear should produce a graphical report for Profile and Helix. This option is only available if the user measured the profile and helix. Click Parameters to change the options for the Profile/Helix report. See the "Profile Tab" and "Helix/Lead Tab" topics.

Tip/Root
Circle: This check box determines whether or not PC-DMIS Gear should add the deviation into tip or root circle items on the bottom of the Pitch/Runout report. This option is only available if the user measured the tip and root circles. Click Parameters to change the options for the Tip/Root elements of the Pitch/Runout report. See the "Tip/Root Tab" topic.

Plot Information Area

This area allows you to include general purpose information appear in your analysis report, such as: Program Number, Serial Number, Inspector, Machine ID, Date/Time, Drawing No., Part/Mach No. and Notation. This information will be included in the header of your report. The Date/Time value is supplied automatically based on the time of gear measurement.

Clicking this button creates the report based on the different options and values set in the Analysis Setup dialog box. It sends the report to the output device specified in the Display option. Measured data is spooled to the Quindos PageViewer application where you can view and print your report(s). See "Appendix A: Using Quindos PageViewer".

Clicking this button closes the Analysis Setup dialog box.

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.

See the "Sample Pitch Runout Layout" and "Sample Profile & Helix Measurement Analysis" topic for examples of the spur gear reports that are created by PC-DMIS Gear.
