15.4 Installation of the Electronics Modules
15.4.1 Phase Extender Module
The Extender is installed using 37-to-37 pin ribbon cables between: 1) the NanoScope III or IIIA
SPM controller and the Extender Electronics Module; as well as 2) from the FM / Extender to the
microscope. A hardware change is also required; the main electronics backplane board at the rear of
the microscope must be swapped out (this may be done by either the customer or a factory
representative). For more information, contact Veeco.
The phase box is equipped with a slider switch for switching internal electronics between
Dimension-series and MultiMode SPM signals. This switch may be accessed through a hole on the
underside of the box as shown below:
Figure 15.4a Phase Box
For Dimension-series SPMs, always set the switch to Dimension . Use a pencil to access the switch
through the hole.
CAUTION: Do not insert a conducting object (e.g., screwdriver) into the Phase
Extender box while it is energized.
ATTENTION: Ne pas insérer d’ objet conducteur (par exemple: un tournevis)
dans le boîtier d’extension de phase (Phase Extender Box) quand
celui-ci est sous tension.
VORSICHT: Stecken Sie keine leitfähigen Teile (zum Beispiel Schraubenzieher)
in die Phase Extender Box, während diese eingeschaltet ist.
