Uniscan Instruments has introduced the latest version of its multi-technique software package for the M370 scanning probe systems.
The new version is available for the SECM, SVP, SDS, SKP and OSP scanning electrochemistry modules.
Many additional features and functions have been added to the package.
New configurations for area- and line-scan experiments provide defined experiment parameters.
The inclusion of definable parameters, such as fuller and reworked pre-conditioning parameters for pre-conditioning the sample or probe, extends the capabilities of the systems, according to the company.
The addition of line delays allows for the relaxation of the sample or additional surface processes to take place.
Data acquisition in forward and reverse scans is now available for faster data acquisition.
Time evolution experiments are now possible and a special option to average data over multiple lines reduces noise and increases the signal-response ratio.
The software also features independent control over sweep, step and return speed, enabling a more flexible approach to the configuration of the experiment.
New automated multi-zone SECM scanning/mapping gives consecutive area maps at different locations on the sample.
Dual potentiostat control is available with the SECM module, allowing the system to monitor and record the electrochemical activity simultaneously at the probe and at the substrate.
Functions such as control over current ranging, range change delays and the ability to collect or not to collect data give greater flexibility to the way information is recorded.
New graphs and mapping functions have also been added, with the ability to analyse data within the program and to remove the necessity to export data to an external package.
The latest version of the software is shipping with all new M370 systems and is available as a free update to existing customers.
