Limits Panel

The Limits panel sets the Z tracking limits:

Parameter Description

Z Limit

Permits attenuation of maximum allowable Z voltage and vertical scan range for achieving higher resolution (smaller quantization) in the Z direction.

Range or Settings:

  • 8.3 to 330 V (with Units set to Volts) for the Dimension Icon head
NOTE: In previous software versions, engaging with ≠ Z max could result in a tip crash and the operator was warned by a message on the screen. Engage in versions 7.0 and later is always done with Z limit = Z max. Therefore the warning is no longer needed.

Deflection Limit

Use this parameter for attenuating the input voltage signal (appears only when performing Contact AFM). Appears as TM Deflection Limit in TappingMode.

Range or Settings:

  • 2.500 V to 20.0V for regular imaging
  • 24.58 V in Force Mode only

Amplitude Range

Use this parameter for attenuating the input voltage signal (appears only for TappingMode or STM).

Range or Settings:

  • 1000, 2000, 3000 or 4000 mV for regular imaging
