Cantilever¶
The cantilever panel (Figure 58) provides functionality to configure the cantilever.

Cantilever Tab¶
Cantilever Id: Unique identifier of the cantilever (e.g. from the user’s cantilevers database)
Type: Standard
Tip Shape: The tip shape is used for calculating the required offsets for reading. In future software revisions, these parameters will be used to correct for line broadening and tip convolution. The tip shape is approximated with a truncated cone (Figure 59).
Height (nm): Height of the cone (h)
Contact Radius (nm): Radius of the cone (r)
Opening Angle (°): Opening angle of the cone (θ)
Stage Position (Z-Axis)
Move along the Z-axis in the negative direction (away from the surface)
Move along the Z-axis in the positive direction (towards the surface)
dZ (µm): Step size along the Z-axis
