NanoScope V Controller Operation

This section discusses operation specific to the NanoScope V Controller.

The NanoScope V functions with many advanced Bruker SPMs, including the MultiMode, MultiMode V, MultiMode 8, BioScope Catalyst, BioScope II, BioScope SZ, Dimension Icon, Dimension V, Dimension 5000 and EnviroScope atomic force microscopes (AFMs). The NanoScope V Controller is not compatible with the Dimension Metrology Head.

The NanoScope V Controller retains features of previous NanoScope Controllers and provides new input/output options, increased data resolution (5k x 5k points), new high-speed data capture, up to eight simultaneous data channels and multiple lock-in amplifiers with independent reference frequencies.

Most existing NanoScope SPM systems benefit from existing controller trade-in for a NanoScope V Controller, but may require upgrades to support NanoScope V operation. Some features may not be supported on all microscopes.

Refer to the following sections:

• NanoScope V Controller Capabilities
• System Initialization
• Scale Differences between the NS III(a), IV(a) and the NS V Controllers
• Signal Naming Conventions
• Auxiliary Signal Paths

For detail regarding access to intermediate signals from the controller when using Dimension series microscopes, refer to Signal Access Module V.
