Real Time Acquisition (only Nanotec Dulcinea or Cervantes users):

Compatibility:
- Compatibility with C31, C32 and M6701 Digital Signal Processors.
- Compatibility with Dulcinea High Voltage Unit.
General improvements for scanning time:
- Arrow indicates the direction (up/down) of the scan.
- Up to 17 different images can be simultaneously visualized during the acquisition.
Improvements available only for Dulcinea Control System users:
- Smooth gains change.
- Software control for the laser.
- Possibility of applying 100Hz/10Hz filters to Z, Y and Z high voltage outputs.
- High Voltage Bias (up to 150V) available.
- Users can select the signals to monitor in the Dulcinea's front BNCs.
- Software controlled Z Offset.
- Output gains can be as small as 0.06.
- Dynamic Gain Out gets separated in Gain Out X and Gain Out Y for Amplitude and Phase.
Scanning modes improved sustancially:
- PLL.
- 3d Modes.
- Jumping Mode (getting great results in liquids).
- Plane Scan.
Other new features:
- M6701 Digital Signal Processor users will have no transmission times between the scans.
- Bias zero during IZ option.
- Maximum drift correction parameter available in movies acquisition.
- CITS acquisition can be performed acquiring any channel (not always current).
- Number of acquired channels can be changed.
- Logitech Wingman cordless joystick can be used to control laser (only for Dulcinea) and motor.
- Complex way to save acquired curves simplified.
