Scan and Ramp Parameter Lists

The Scan and Ramp Parameter Lists display the user-configurable (depending on options) scan and ramp parameters relevant to your experiment type.

Simple Mode

You can adjust the number of parameters shown in the Scan Parameter List using several methods.

The default Simple Mode, shown in Figure 1, displays the essential parameters needed to make an image.

The Expanded Mode view, shown in Figure 2, increases the number of displayed parameters, providing access to more advanced options.
