Release Notes for Nanonis Mimea V5e Software

• Fix bug when calculating the SC5 calibrated offsets for the analog inputs (hrDAC tuning)
• Performance improvements Real-time system (especially important for users of older RC5 with NI PXIe-8115 Real-Time Controllers, where the CPU of the RT system could easily overload)
• Performance improvements for some TCP Programming Interface functions
• TCP Programming Interface changed to allow multiple connections, each of them executing the commands serially. To execute commands in parallel, use multiple connections.
• Support for new Programming Interface functions (e.g. stop PLL sweepers)
• Various other fixes and improvements

• Scan Control: 3 new DIO trigger options for frame start, frame end, scan direction
• Better support for systems with unipolar piezo outputs
• Lock-in: can now demodulate all FPGA signals. Possible application: tandem demodulation (demodulate the output of another demodulator)
• Lock-in demodulators can be used as generic low-pass filters by setting harmonic to 0
• Various new functions in the Programming Interface / TCP Interface
• Many other fixes and improvements

• Switchable Scanner: optional module to switch the scan control between 2 scanners (one can be scanned, the other is kept at the current position)
• Support for DIO Ports C & D added
• New Attocube Motor Control for ANC350 v4
• New motor module with 1 TTL line fully configurable
• Cloud mode was improved to allow more points and massive better performance for point manipulation
• Piezo Calibration: new voltage limits per calibration profile

Changes in V5e compared to V5:

• High-speed scanning (up to 1 M Pixel per second)
• High-speed spectroscopy (up to 1 MS/s)
• Higher Z-Controller bandwidth possible
• AFM Extensions for more advanced AFM operation, e.g. Q-Control
• 64-bit software, allowing allocation of larger memory blocks and thus e.g. higher resolution scanning
