Software Setup

NOTE: Due to inherent mechanical characteristics of the specialized probe holder necessary for this imaging mode, reduced closed loop X IGain and Y IGain parameters are necessary.
  1. Select Calibrate > Scanner > X-Y... from the main menu. The OptoXY Closed Loop Calibration dialog will open.
  2. Set X IGain and Y IGain to 8.
  3. Click OK to close the window and continue with your experiment.

Ensure that you reset the parameters to their default values (12) when using the standard air tapping or TR holder.

 
  1. Ensure that your SPM is properly selected and configured.
  1. Click the Select Experiment icon to open the Select Experiment window, shown in Figure 1.
 
  1. Select the following:

    • Experiment Category: Other SPM.
    • Experiment Group: Electrochemistry
    • Select Experiment:
      • EC - Contact Mode
      • EC - Peak Force QNM
      • EC - ScanAsyst

 
  1. Click Load Experiment.

This opens the Workflow Toolbar, the Scan Parameters and Electrochemistry Lists, the Scan Two Channels windows and the Electrochemistry window.
