DetailTSC add-on
When the number of sample contacts becomes very large, or when external instruments deliver many signals to be digitized, 8 input and output channels might simply not be enough. One additional TSC instantaneously doubles that number to 16. For even more complex experiments, a maximum of 3 TSCs can be connected to the Nanonis Tramea™ base configuration, transforming the instrument into a 24 outputs and 24 inputs system. Never before has that number of signals been generated or acquired with similar performance.
The TSC add-ons are identical to the TSC of the base configuration, meaning no compromise on signal quality. And while increasing the number of channels with conventional systems means adapting the measurement software and potentially changing the workflow, with Nanonis Tramea™ none of this is necessary. The additional TSC signals are seamlessly integrated into the Tramea™ software allowing immediate productivity. For cases where more signal outputs than signal inputs are necessary, the Nanonis TSO add-on might be the better solution.
Additional TSCs can be combined with additional TSO5 (16-output channels) if more outputs than inputs are required.
