Technical Notes

Nanotec TN #1 v.1.0: 3D Modes.

Paper preprint from C. Gómez Navarro, A. Gil, M. Álvarez, P. J. De Pablo, F. Moreno-Herrero, I. Horcas, R. Fernández-Sánchez, J. Colchero, J. Gómez-Herrero and A. M. Baró.
In this work, different examples of 3D Modes are presented as working modes for Scanning Probe Microscopes, which generalises the usual method of acquiring data.

Nanotec TN #_2 v.1.4: Lithography

This support note shows how to use the lithography section of WSxM program. It describes each one of the menus that appear in the subprogram.

Nanotec TN #3 v.1.0: Jumping mode in liquids

Paper preprint from F. Moreno-Herrero, P. J. de Pablo, R. Fernández-Sánchez, J. Colchero, J. Gómez-Herrero and A. M. Baró.
In this work, theoretical considerations on the performance of Scanning Force Microscopy Jumping Mode and Dynamic Mode are discussed.

This technical note shows how to interact with WSxM using a standard TCP/IP connection. You can run this example using this program.

Nanotec TN #8 v.1.2: Function Generator.

This technical note explains how to use WSxM's function generator to generate simple theoretic images, implement custom filters or processes and other related functionality.

Examples of usage

Nanotec TN #9 v.1.0: Changing C31 base address.

This technical note explains how to change the base address that this model of DSP board will use for data acquisition.

If you need to make this change for other DSP board model, please contact us.

Nanotec TN #10 v.1.0: Using a closed loop scanner.

This technical note shows how to reduce the non linear behaviour of the scanners with WSxM using a closed loop scanner.
