Stage Position (XY-Axes)

move_x_neg Move along the X-axis in the negative direction

move_x_pos Move along the X-axis in the positive direction

move_y_neg Move along the Y-axis in the negative direction

move_y_pos Move along the Y-axis in the positive direction

Step (µm): Step size along the XY-axes

X (µm): Current X-axis relative position

The relative position is given by the position sensor.

Y (µm): Current Y-axis relative position

The relative position is given by the position sensor.

Set To Zero: Set the current position as reference for the XY-axes

Stage Position (Z-Axis)

move_z_neg Move along the Z-axis in the negative direction (away from the surface)

move_z_pos Move along the Z-axis in the positive direction (towards the surface)

Step (µm): Step size along the Z-axis

Z (µm): Current Z-axis relative position

The relative position is given by the position sensor.

Set To Zero: Set the current position as reference, for the Z-axis

Stop: Stop immediately

Connect: Connect the stage controller

Disconnect: Disconnect the stage controller
