Single Scan Operation 4-7
NOTE –
Because the camera is mounted at the right side of the stylus, during a scan the
video image shows the sample moving from right to left below the stylus. In actuality, during
a scan the stage is moving from back to front.
•
After the scan is complete, the stylus lifts off the surface, and the stage returns to the location
where the scan originated. The profiler then automatically replots and rescales. The image
displayed on the monitor should resemble
Figure 4-6 , which includes the following elements in
addition to scan profile and reference/measurement cursor functions:
•
List of user-set scan parameters
•
List of analytical results (if any analytical functions were selected for this scan)
•
A Watch List, which provides real-time monitoring of ASH (delta average step height),
horizontal distance, and vertical distance.
NOTE –
On all grids in the Data Plot window, you can move a column margin by double-
clicking and dragging the compass-shaped cursor to the desired position. Double-click, and
the system auto-sizes the column.
