Mitutoyo SURFTEST SJ-410 - Evaluating Based on VDA

23. REFERENCE INFORMATION
No. 99MBB765A

23.1.3 Evaluating based on VDA
Shown below are the standard cut-off values, sampling lengths, and evaluation lengths for
evaluation based on VDA.
NOTE
• With SJ-410, when the VDA standard is selected, the λs filter automatically changes to
(NONE). To enable the λs filter, refer to "7.3.2 Modifying the Evaluation Profile and
Cut-off Length" (page 7-7).
• Be aware that with the VDA standard, there are some differences with JIS B0601-2001
and ISO, such as λs not being set by default.
