With contact
mode as standard, the SCANControl C can be extended by a number
of additional SPM measuring modes thanks to its modular design.
Communication with the user is accomplished via the SIScanPanel
software (Windows 2000 compatible) that combines the complex
functionality with user - friendly operation. The SCANControl
C connects to the USB port on your PC, making data transfer
fast and easy. Also included with SCANControl C is the evaluation
software SPIP, an extremly versatile program to evaluate and
show the results of your measurements. The numerous measurement
possibilities also include a statistical analysis of your
data (e.g. roughness determination).
Specifications of the SCANControl C
• 16 bit digital/analog converter of all channels
(0.03 nm at 2 µm Z-range, Z-range can be
limited,
maintaining the full 16 bit resolution).
• Low voltage output of all important signals can
be measured at BNC connectors.
• Low voltage output of the gating signals can be
factory adjusted 0 V to 10 V or -10 V to
+10 V.
• Digital PI-controller for the Z-direction.
• Digital PI-controller for the X- and Y-linearization
(active linearization by path sensors).
• Modular concept of the electronic device –
therefore extensions are easily possible.
• Non-contact module with amplitude and phase detection.
• Interferometer module with temperature stabilized
semiconductor diode laser.
