AFM (Atomic Force Microscope)

[mahaveer]

i  have to built an AFM , for controlling AFM system i am useing labview and GPIB .i am new in this field so i donnt know much about labview programing,In AFm there is piezo tube (scanner) connected to voltage source and four quadrant detector to detect the position of cantilever tip and give output as voltage signal , so i have to control both piezo tube by controlling voltage and collect data from detector ,so can anyone have idea about how to do that, i hope someone done this type of project.
thank you

Hello Mahaveer:

What version of LabVIEW are you using. There are examples that ship with the drivers, you can get to these by going to Help -> Find Examples. So I would suggest looking at a GPIB example and use commands that your system responds to.

thanks for reply
i am using labview 6.0 version,i already  tried that examle but it doesn't help  me much more ,is there any other example(using any driver) ,that help me to understand much more about GPIB or any such example which are using keithley 2400 and gpib
again thanks

Hello mahaveer:

You can get the LabVIEW driver for the Keithley 2400 here.

hi

 I read,  you worked for development of  AFM. Can you tell me how you control the motion of scanner in 3 dimention using labview.
