Stage Menu
opens the stage and sample navigation functions
(see Chapter 5):
Align Feature
opens the procedure that helps to set a stage position for any
elongated feature (extending off the screen at the desired
magnification). The procedure uses the stage rotation.
Compucentric Rotation (F12)
places a green circle in the selected display. By rotating the circle a
different viewing orientation of the sample area can be achieved
by a physical stage rotation and adjustment of X and Y axes. Stage
rotation keeps the observed feature in the center of the field of
view. If this does not occur, an alignment should be performed to
locate the stage center and calibrate the stage (see Chapter 4).
Define User Units
activates a procedure guiding a user to determine User Units for
X and Y stage axes. These are used for relative stage movements
associated with the regular features mapping (in particular
integrated circuit applications).
User Units
organizes the stage software to recognise the defined user units
rather than the default metric measurements. The X and Y
coordinates now operate in User Units which are indicated in the
Stage
module by the UU symbol.
Beam Shift Reset
zeroes the beam shift. A feature observed with a non-zero Beam
Shift is automatically moved back to the imaging center using the
stage.
Auto Beam Shift Zero
automatically resets the beam shift each time it reaches the maximal value during the Get function (the point-to-
point stage movement) and corrects the imaging position with a stage movement.
Home Stage (Shift + F3)
starts procedure which moves all motorized axes to their
hardware limits and ensures that the physical stage position
agrees with the coordinates readout. During the home stage
procedure the
Stage Homing
dialog shows its progress. The stage
axes are moved to their end-switches in the following order:
1. Z
(lowest position),
2.
T
(tilt),
3.
X
,
Y
and
R
(rotation) at the
same time.
When the stage is homed correctly it ends up in the following
position:
X
/
Y
position is set to the factory pre-set stage rotation centre
R
= 0°
T
= 0°
Z
= preset long working distance
Home Stage Without Rotation
executes Home Stage function without rotation. When the stage is homed without rotation the stage Rotation
reference is greyed out. This is useful when a large specimen is inserted and stage rotation can cause a collision
with equipment inside the chamber.
Center Position (Ctrl + 0 – digit)
moves the stage to coordinates X = 0, Y = 0.
Recovery to Safe Position
If the stage position is out of a safe zone, the dialog warns and refers to run this functionality.
External Current Measurement
When you need to use an external measuring device (option) click on this item. The
Status
bar /
Specimen Current
value shows
N/A
from that point on.
