Nano-Route®3DMad City Labs’ Nano-Route®3D is a LabVIEW based motion control and data acquisition program that allows users to command our USB 2.0 enabled Nano-Drive® controllers. Upon start-up Nano-Route®3D identifies the attributes of the attached Nano-Drive® controller, the user then has the option to generate and run routes based on preloaded parameters or custom entered parameters. This capability allows both novice and experienced users to quickly generate customized motion control, including complex multi-axis routes. Routes can be generated via simple “go to” commands or more sophisticated point or time based functions. Motion commands to the Nano-Drive® controller can be issued via single write mode or waveform acquisition mode (single download of all data points) depending on application requirements. A graphical display previews the generated command route and may be edited prior to the route being run. During execution of a route, Nano-Route®3D retains the ADC (sensor), and DAC (command) data retrieved from the Nano-Drive® controller. This information is displayed graphically in a separate window. The graphical representation can be customized and the information exported for analysis.  (Click thumbnails to enlarge in a new window) Features

AFMView™ 2 AFMView™2 is Mad City Labs control and visualization software for AFMs incorporating the MadPLL® or QS-PLL™ awith other Mad City Labs nanopositioners and micropositioners. With this software, customers can build and control custom AFMs that use tuning fork sensors or the Akiyama type sensor probes. AFMView™2 provides automated surface approach, scan control and automatic tuning fork setup routine. Scan data may be saved and exported. Scan data may be exported to analysis programs such as Gwyddion or MountainsSPIP. Probe data may be saved and imported. By using the QS-PLL™ wih AFMView™2 an AFM that performs scanning magnetometry may be constructed and controlled. |
LabVIEW - examples and tutorials
National Instruments’ LabVIEW is an established graphical
programming language specifically designed for scientific
measurement and control applications. Mad City
Labs’ USB computer interfaces are LabVIEW compatible
and come with examples which illustrate the operation of
nanopositioning stages under computer control. Often,
the LabVIEW examples are enough to allow experienced
programmers to move ahead into more complex control
schemes for specific nanopositioning applications. First
time and infrequent users of LabVIEW will find Mad
City Labs’ LabVIEW Tutorial a very helpful resource
to quickly understand the essential concepts and start
creating useful control software. Both the LabVIEW examples
and tutorial are provided free of charge with every
USB enabled nanopositioning system.
Mad City Labs’ programmers are available to write custom
LabVIEW vi’s for specific applications. Contact our
sales engineers to discuss the technical requirements of
your ideal nanopositioning control software.

INSCOPER
Inscoper Imaging Solution is a full-featured control and image acquisition solution for fluorescence video microscopes. Based on a specially designed electronic unit, the Inscoper Solution offers an enhanced user experience with improved technical performance, system integration, and ease of use. INSCOPER is currently compatible with Mad City Labs nanopositioners and micropositioners, and it provides a user interface to the RM21® class of microscopes. |
Metamorph
Molecular Devices’ MetaMorph is an industry standard software package for microscope automation and image analysis. MetaMorph provides direct control of Mad City Labs’ nanopositioning stages using Mad City Labs’ digital USB computer interface in addition to the standard analog control signals. MetaMorph integrates high resolution nanopositioning with image acquisition and analysis. Direct programming control of the nanopositioning stage is handled in MetaMorph - making knowledge of specific nanopositioning control commands unnecessary.

Image-Pro with Scope-Pro
MediaCybernetics’ Scope-Pro microscope control module
works within the Image-Pro family of image acquistion
and analysis software to form an integrated microscopy
software package. Scope-Pro directly controls Mad
City Labs nanopositioning systems through standard
analog control signals as well as the optional Nano-
Drive® USB digital computer interfaces.

μManager with ImageJ
μManager is a widely accepted open source software
package for controlling microscopes and for image
acquisition. μManager combined with ImageJ, a popular
open source image processing and analysis package,
forms a powerful and adaptable research tool with an
active community of users. Mad City Labs contributed
adapters (specialized control software) to μManager to
provide direct control of Mad City Labs nanopositioning and micropositioning stages. All software can be
downloaded directly from the μManager and ImageJ
