 Unprecedented surface analysis power Native 64 bit code (with Windows 7 64 and Windows Vista 64) and multicore parallelization accelerate calculation and provide excellent performance with large measurement data sets and advanced applications involving heavy processing. MountainsMap® 6 runs on Windows 7 (64 bit and 32 bit), Windows Vista (64 bit and 32 bit) and Windows XP (32 bit only). |
MountainsMap 6.2 - October 2011 MountainsMap 6.1 - March 2011 MountainsMap 6.0 - September 2010 |
Any optional module that has not been purchased with a Mountains® 6 product is available on free trial for up to 30 days. A list of optional modules that are installed and modules that are available for free trial can be obtained by selecting About in the Help menu.
The "right parameters wherever you are" feature has been extended to include Chinese GB/T standard references for parameter families, which can be selected in Metrological Preferences - References.
- ISO 25178-72 X3P data file (OpenGPS)
- Hirox 3D surfaces+images
- TIFF multiple image series
- JPK AFM Images
- Omicron Scala SPM images
- Agilent ASCII force curves
- Photonic Lattice data file
- Auto-save minimizes the risk of losing work. The current document is automatically saved every 15 minutes. The maximum number of auto-saved files is 10. These files can be retrieved for up to 48 hours, then they are deleted. It is also possible to retrieve unsaved documents.
- When a template is applied to process one or more studiables (measurement data sets) using Apply a Template there is an option: automatically save the result studiable. If this option is used the studiable is saved for subsequent analysis, so it is possible to perform preprocessing and metrological analysis independently when required.
The Resampling operator includes smoother spline interpolation methods. In addition surfaces and images in surface-image data sets (for example topography + true color + intensity) can be resampled simultaneously to save time.
When the resampling factor is 3 or higher spline interpolation is smoother.
A new edge smoothing option interpolates points to achieve clean edges.
A new mini-toolbar provides a configurable preview of the result of applying an operator, minimizing the need for fine tuning.
When an operator is applied, Z axis color palettes can be selected on the fly and optimized to reveal hidden surface features.
- Changes in axes settings (Axes Edit) are displayed in real time before they are OK'd.
- A sub-surface can be extracted with or without leveling using the Partition Leveling operator.
- Horizontal contour extraction with smoothing - parametric profiles extracted on the XY plane can be smoothed automatically.
- Automatic association of geometric elements with profiles - line segments, arcs and circles (greater than a specified minimum size) can be automatically associated with profiles. This significantly speeds up the definition of nominal form (which is otherwise carried out interactively or by fitting CAD DXF data to the profile).
- Z axis magnification - the Z axis can be magnified with respect to a rectangle drawn by the user to generate an anamorphosed zoom.
- Residual profile export - residual profiles / form deviations can be exported to the bank of studiables as profiles (X, Z) or parametric profiles (clouds of points) for further analysis, for example roughness analysis.
- Multiple (parametric) contours can be combined for analysis. For example it is possible to combine measurements of two sides of a cylinder in order to check parallelism or cone angle.
- Selection of superimposed elements - when elements (for example an LS-arc and an absolute arc) are superimposed it is possible to select one or other element for analysis: you can zoom in and use the tab key to cycle through the elements concerned.
- Base line normalization - the base lines for the approach and retract curves can be normalized interactively as well as automatically using the Normalization operator.
- Force curve visualization has been improved by making data point density a function of the zoom factor.
- More sensitive detection of protein unfolding events - detection of protein unfolding events using the WLC (wormlike chain) model has been enhanced by the addition of a distance discrimination parameter to complement the depth discrimination parameter.
- The Plug-in API in MountainsMap 6.2 is now compatible with 64-bit versions of Windows.
- The new Plug-in API can be used to define custom parameters.
- Plug-ins are interfaced to Mountains using Python scripts.
- Studiables (measurement data sets) processed by Plug-ins are accessed directly in memory instead of via files.
- Multi-layer SPM files are processed by a Minidoc that is applied automatically on loading. Accordingly the multi-layer preference has been removed because it is not longer required.
- More operators have been optimized by multicore parallelization.
- Surface subtraction can be set up to ignore non-measured or missing data points.
