The EG-3000 layout:
Controller:
►One of the most important parts of the EG-3000 controller is closed loop feedback system. Based on a
high quality 20-bit TDC (Time to Digital Converter) to measure displacement capacitance sensors. Any
available system signal can be used for SPM feedback. Controller is capable to operate 6 channels with
feed back simultaneously, which allows to scan by tip and by sample both.
►Eg-3000 SPM controller contains 2-channel lock-in amplifier to provide resonant SPM techniques,
for example non contact spm mode. Lock in amplifier includes high stable voltage generator based on
digital frequency synthesizer. High speed data processing implemented, using programmable logic
(PLIS), allows to perform high quality lock in performance up to 1.5 MHz band.
►EG-3000 has malty channel (up to 12) stepping motor control with micro step option for rough
adjustments of scanning head (stage).
►Controller has external analog inputs and outputs for external equipment connections, sync inputs and
outputs. Connection with PC work station is provided via USB interface. Universal software NSpec,
designed for using with EG-3000 has wide range of possibilities for data processing, which allows to
implement set of modern SPM techniques. Nspec is capable of running under different operation systems.
Software:
The EG-3000 features:
►Electronic controller EG-3000 is designed to control SPM or confocal microscope performance.
Controller provides data acquisition from system sensors and external devices, applies control voltage
to scanners piezoelectric actuators, all obtained information is transferring to PC work station for
visualization and processing. Control signal is transferring from PC to controller for adjust all system
parameters.
►NSpec – Universal software to control all Nano Scan Tech devices.
►Nspec controls all EG-3000 functionality, and all devices connected to controller (SPM Certus, scanning
stage Ratis, stepping motors etc.). Software has capability to operate CCD detectors and spectrometers,
connected to PC workstation.
►Multi thread core is a basement of software, created on C++ platform, built with GCC4 compiler.
Program interface created using QT4 cross platform libraries and Qwt modified libraries.
►Software is compatible with all modern versions OS Windows (XP, 2003, Vista, 7). Compatibility with
OS Linux, *BSD, MacOS is possible by customer request.
