Need to know what a Rz10 finish is in English?

I think I am correct in saying that Rz10 is a method of taking a surface finish rather than an exact measurement. Hmmm. That is both true and false. It is actually a measurement of 10 points of surface profile, height, parameter, or the average height difference of the 5 highest peaks and valleys over a given length.
