Hardware Specifications Base Package


Use of standard PC technology instead of exotic and proprietary DSP hardware delivers the highest computing performance and guarantees worldwide availability now and in the long term. The National Instruments Real-Time operating system delivers the highest connectivity with drivers for almost any interface including USB, serial, GPIB and many more. LabVIEW Real-Time and LabVIEW FPGA is a high-level programming language and will be portable to latest hardware developments, thus making the Nanonis controller also future-proof. Upgrade path becomes much more straightforward and cost effective.
