About this Manual
This manual is divided in two parts, the first part gives instructions on how
to set up and use your Nanosurf easyScan 2 AFM system. The second part
is a reference for the Nanosurf easyScan 2 Control Software. It applies to
software version 1.6. If you are using a newer software version, try to down-
load a newer version of the manual from the Nanosurf support pages, or
refer to the ‘Whats new’ file that is installed in the Manuals subdirectory of
the directory where the easyScan 2 software is installed.
The first part of the manual starts with the chapter
Installing the easyScan 2
AFM , which should be read when installing your easyScan 2 AFM system.
The chapters Preparing for Measurement and A First Measurement should be
read by all users, because they contain useful instructions for everyday
measurements. The other chapters give more information for advanced or
interested users.
The second part of the manual starts with chapter
The user interface (p.87).
This part is a description of the function of the buttons and inputs in the
dialogs and control panels of the easyScan Control software. Chapter
Quick
Reference (p.162) gives links to the description of each Control Panel, Dia-
log, Menu item and Operating Window.
