DetailSC5 add-on
With growing set-up complexity, or when multiple stages need to be controlled, 8 input and output channels might simply not be enough. One additional SC5 instantaneously doubles that number to 16. For even more complex experiments, a maximum of 3 SC5s can be connected to the Nanonis SPM Control System base package, transforming the instrument into a 24 outputs and 24 inputs system.
While increasing the number of channels with conventional systems means adapting the measurement software and potentially changing the workflow, the modularity of the Nanonis SPM Control System avoids all these drawbacks. The additional SC5 signals are seamlessly integrated into the Nanonis software allowing immediate productivity.
Additional SC5s can be combined with additional SO5s (16-output channels) if more outputs than inputs are required.
