NanoCapture™ Software for E-710 Digital Piezo Controller

Facilitates Optimization of all Servo Parameters Measures System Response and Resonant Frequency, Creates Bode Plots

Piezo Actuators Nanopositioning & Scanning Systems

Wave Generator for Programming Simple and Complex Motions

Active Optics / Steering Mirrors

System setup and programmingis eased by a number of soft- ware tools provided, such asDLLs, LabView™ drivers and theNanoCapture™ system analysis program. NanoCapture™ per- mits convenient system opti- mization and displays system settling behavior, resonant fre- quency, Bode plots, etc. No addi-tional sophisticated metrologyequipment is required, because the nanopositioners are already equipped with direct-metrology capacitive sensors. System Optimization

Tutorial: Piezo- electrics in Positioning

These features are especiallyuseful when the mechanical properties of a factory-calibrat- ed system are changed by, for example, increasing or de- creasing the load.In such a case, parameterssuch as servo-gain, notch-filter frequency, or the position sen- sor’s zero point can be adjustedto maintain optimum systemresponse and stability. Programming Complex Functions

Capacitive Position Sensors

Easy access to simple functions like sine-, triangle-, and squarewave, as well as coordination of two axes for executing a circular trace.

Step response of a closed-loop nanopositioning stage with optimal servo-controlparameters. The E-710 Wave Generator has a number of predefined functions such as sine, triangle and square wave which can be conveniently scaled and combined using NanoCapture™.
