SPECS Nanonis Scripting Software Module

Script your own high-speed measurement sequences on the real-time system with scripting module SI 5. When speed and precise timing matter, measurement routines just can’t be fast enough. With a time-deterministic approach and 50 μs time interval between commands, scripting significantly boosts execution speed and reduces measurement time. The module is seamlessly integrated in standard measurement modules: Scripts can be easily called from other modules, and custom functions or pre-defined measurement can be started from within a script. The scripting module is not intended as a replacement of the Nanonis Programming Interface, but as complementary module: It allows 100x faster execution speed while the Programming Interface offers more flexibility.
