About this Manual<br />
This manual is divided into two parts: The first part provides instructions on how to set up<br />
and use your <strong>Nanosurf</strong> <strong>easyScan</strong> 2 <strong>AFM</strong> system. The second part is a reference for the<br />
software that comes with the <strong>easyScan</strong> 2 <strong>AFM</strong> system. It applies to <strong>Nanosurf</strong> SPM Control<br />
Software version 3.0. If you are using newer software versions, download the latest manual<br />
from the <strong>Nanosurf</strong> support pages, or refer to the “What’s new in this version.pdf” file that is<br />
installed in the Manuals subdirectory of the directory where the SPM Control Software is<br />
installed.<br />
The first part of the manual starts with Chapter 1: Introduction (page 12), which provides an<br />
introduction to the <strong>easyScan</strong> 2 <strong>AFM</strong> system, and with Chapter 2: Installing the <strong>easyScan</strong> 2<br />
<strong>AFM</strong> (page 19), which should be read when installing your system. Chapter 3: Preparing for<br />
measurement (page 27) and Chapter 4: A first measurement (page 41) should be read by all<br />
users, because they contain useful instructions for everyday measurements. The other<br />
chapters provide more information for advanced or interested users.<br />
The second part of the manual can be used as a reference for the SPM Control Software that<br />
controls the <strong>AFM</strong>. It starts with Chapter 12: The SPM Control Software user interface (page<br />
109) and ends with Chapter 17: Advanced settings (page 201). This part describes the<br />
functions of all buttons, inputs, dialogs, and control panels of the SPM Control Software.<br />
The final chapter of this manual, Quick reference (page 254), contains an index to the<br />
software reference part of the manual for quick retrieval of the relevant information<br />
locations.<br />
For more information on the scripting interface of the software packages, refer to the online<br />
help file <strong>easyScan</strong> 2 Script Programmers Manual that is installed together with the SPM<br />
Control Software.<br />
For more information on the optional <strong>Nanosurf</strong> Report software, refer to the on-line help<br />
included with the <strong>Nanosurf</strong> Report software.
