High Spot Count (HSC) 3
High Spot Count is the number of profile peaks per unit of length projecting through a
reference line parallel to and at a given height above, a line drawn parallel to the mean
line through the lowest point of the roughness trace. (See Figure 3.52).
The mean line is the line at the mean height of all data. Another line is drawn through
the lowest point in the trace, parallel to the mean line. The reference line is at a user
specified height above the lowest point line.
