A FIRST MEASUREMENT

Storing the measurement

When you are satisfied with your image and would like to keep it, you can

take a snapshot of it by clicking the button. The behaviour of this

button depends on whether a measurement is in progress or not.

When a measurement is in progress, and is activated, a copy of the

measurement is made to a measurement document after the measurement

is finished.

When the measurement is not in progress, a copy is made immediately.

If you would like to take the snapshot of the measurement as it appears

during the measurement without waiting to finish:

Stop the scanning by clicking .

- Generate a snapshot by clicking .

If you want to save the measurement document to your hard disk drive, for

example for loading it to Nanosurf Report:

- Activate the measurement document by clicking in its window, or by

selecting it in the ‘Windows’ menu.

- Select the menu ‘File\Save as...’. Select the folder and name where you

would like to store the measurement.

The stored measurements can now be loaded with the easyScan 2 AFM and

the Nanosurf Report software for later viewing, analysis and printing (see

also Software Reference manual).

Creating a report

The optional Nanosurf Report software can be used for evaluating the

measurement, and creating visually appealing reports. Here, we will just

start the software and create a basic report.

- Click in the Navigator.

The Report software will now start, open the currently selected measure-

ment in the report software, and evaluate it with the default template.
