Software

The STM software provides all the standard elements needed for flexible STM image acquisition, including a basic set of image analysis commands. Special features are constant current, constant height and voltage dependant imaging and the automatically controlled acquisition of image series. Powerful I(V) and I(z) spectroscopy including user definable voltage and tip height ramps as well as dI/dV spectroscopy with an external Lock-In amplifier are also included.

The program is written in Borland Delphi 6.0. A special unit in the source code has been reserved for user modifications. This opens up a straightforward way to extend the program in case the user wants to modify the software, while compatibility to future software upgrades is guaranteed.
