More Information
MATRIX PLL
MATRIX 4 QPlus Control System includes advanced AFM PLL hardware. The PLL is well proven and has supported many leading scientists in their daily work by offering all standard types of AFM measurements as well as the flexibility to program advanced experiments via the MATE control interface. There is a basic mode for reliable and safe measurements, requiring minimum effort to initiate the experiments. Users can also directly switch to an expert mode giving access to the complete parameter space of an AFM PLL.
Preset options in MATRIX 4 for AFM perform high quality, high resolution QPlus with easy switching to other modes with a few mouse clicks.
TipGuard - Tip Protection
MATRIX 4 includes an advanced TipGuard system that extends tip life-time and facilitates uninterrupted measurements in non-ideal environments. The TipGuard is convenient, and automatically continues experiments after a safety event. The TipGuard hardware and software take several parameters like phase or amplitude into account. Advanced users can individually parameterize the TipGuard and weight the individual trigger thresholds.
TWIN Regulator
Instead of mixing or switching input signals, the TWIN Regulator has two independent complete feedback loops, allowing for separate but simultaneous optimisation of the two regulation signals. Therefore the TWIN Regulator dramatically improves the efficiency of research work by enabling a seamless transition between modes. The TWIN Regulator also opens up chances for unique experiments by combining or mixing different feedback signals.
