hi all, 

azrul here from malaysia. i would like to seek for a solution on how to convert the AFM raw data  (roughness measurement) into numerical value which can show me the X,Y and Z value of the image. there is an internship asking me about this but unfortunately i am unable to answer his question. i did tried to explore any possible option given by the software ( i am a DI 3100 dimension V user ) but the only option i did found was converting the raw data into ASCII which is according to him the data only give the height value only. is there anyone know how to help him? he is on the project to create a simulation by using this kind of data. 

i am thinking that if the analysis software can show me the 3D data analysis, it also can help me on converting the raw data into those data desired by the internship student. is it make sense? sorry for my poor english and knowledge on AFM. still a learner and new with AFM.
