 Contour Analysis Software: FORMTRACEPAK
FORMTRACEPAK functions offer total support for measurement system control, surface
roughness analysis, contour analysis, contour tolerancing, and inspection report creation.

Measurement control
To make only a single measurement, you can create a part program
in the single mode. To measure multiple workpieces of an identical
shape, you can use the teaching mode.
FORMTRACEPAK supports the new top-bottom continuous
measurement and variable measuring force functions of the CV-4500
Series (see page 2 for details), providing an even higher level of usability.
Since you can embed the entire flow, from making measurement
to printing a report, into a part program, you can efficiently make
measurements, analyze data,
and output a report. A function
is also provided that enables
you to insert comments
accompanied with photographs
at desired timings, enabling you
to embed the roles described
in a measurement procedure
document that specifies
important points such as
work settings.
To make immediate measurements, you can use the pull-down
menu to easily select and call up the desired operating procedure.

Multiple language support (15 languages)

You can switch the language* to be used in the measurement,
analysis, and layout windows.
After measurements have been made, you can switch to another
language and create a report in that language. This function can
be used worldwide.
Button-editing function
* Supported languages: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, You can hide buttons that are not used frequently. For example,
Spanish, Polish, Hungarian, Swedish, Czech, Simplified Chinese, you can choose to display only those buttons that are used
Traditional Chinese, Korean, Turkish, Portuguese. frequently and increase the size of the displayed graphics window,
thereby customizing the window to suit your needs.
Online help function*
Online help that can be viewed any time is incorporated into the
software. In addition to index and keyword searches, a status
saving help button, which displays menus and Windows help with
a click of the mouse, is provided.

Simple statistical commands

* Online help function supports only Japanese and English.
You can perform statistical calculations of roughness parameters
and contour analysis results without using a separate program such
as Excel.

6
 Contour Analysis
Contour analysis function
A wide variety of commands, which form the basic
elements for analysis, are provided, including those for
points (10 kinds), lines (6 kinds), and circles (6 kinds).
A rich set of commands that combine these elements
to calculate angles, pitches, and distances, a contour
tolerancing function, and a design value generation
function are also provided as standard features. These
functions, combined with the function that allows
you to customize the calculation command buttons by
hiding less frequently used commands, let you tailor
the window according to the user environment.

Circle and line automatic determination function

Using the circle/line auto-fitting command, you can automatically
calculate all circles and lines contained in the data without having
to click the command button each time.
Simple pitch calculation function

mouse operations.
Text output of the calculation result and graphics data
You can output the calculation result as text (in csv or txt format),
output graphics data obtained from measurements as point-string
data to a text file or CAD file (in the DXF or IGES format), or copy
the data to the clipboard. Combined with commercial document
or statistical processing software, this feature can be used to share
data with computers that do not have dedicated analysis software Example of range specification for screw thread
installed or execute CAD-based reverse engineering. pitch with rectangular tool.

Contour-tolerancing function as a standard feature

The best-fit processing function that moves the coordinate values of the design data and measurement data to the optimum positions
is provided as a standard feature. Since the tolerancing results can be visually displayed as graphics, displayed as tolerance values and
tolerance expansions in each coordinate, or output as a text file, they can be utilized as feedback data for machining systems.

Design value generation function
You can generate design data from CAD data (DXF or IGES file) or text data. Furthermore, since you can also convert
measurement data into design data, you can save parts data prior to use (testing) as design data and effectively utilize it
for checking the wear following use (testing).

 Integrated layout
You can use simple operations to lay out graphics obtained from measurements as well as mea-
surement results for surface roughness, contour, and roundness on a single page.
Furthermore, since the program now allows you to specify a saved file and paste it, you can easily
paste results from multiple files.
Note: the optional ROUNDPAK roundness/cylindricity analysis program is required.

Saving the result as a web page

Since you can save the result in html or mhtml format, which can
be displayed using Internet Explorer or Microsoft Word, you can
check the result even on a PC on which no layout-editing program is
installed.
Report creation function
You can freely assemble measurement results/conditions/graphics as well as comments/circles/lines/arrows, and print them out in a measurement
result report. Furthermore, since you can paste bitmap files, you can also add a workpiece image or company logo to the layout.
You can also save the created layout and use it again later for similar measurements.

with this table. By using Mitutoyo’s 3-axis adjustment table, the workpiece
can be aligned and leveled easily, simply by following the FORMTRACEPAK
guidance. No experience or special expertise is required.
