For the finest control of mechanical oscillators The OC4-Station is the standalone version of the Oscillation Controller add-on module, specifically designed for Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) operation. With its
extremely wide input range, from ±1mV ... ±10V, the OC4-Station is suited for almost any type of mechanical resonator - standard cantilevers, tuning forks, needle sensors, etc... whether in UHV, at low-temperature, in liquid or in air. Its applications range from atomic resolution in Non-Contact AFM modes to Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy (MRFM). Additionally, the integrated
spectrum analyzer (FFT) and scope allows for thermal noise analysis of resonance peak.
The graphical user interface is hosted on a standard desktop or laptop PC. Communication is done via TCP/IP over a standard Ethernet port. With the possibility to connect it to any third party controller, the OC4-Station is a truly universal and versatile lab instrument.
