This will result in automatic configuring the software to operate in semicontact modes.
The parameters will be adjusted as follows:
● Input of the feedback loop – Mag signal;
● SetPoint parameter (proportional to the force applied to the sample) – 10 nA;
● Feedback Gain – minus 4.
2. Open the Litho window (Fig. 8-40) by clicking the
button in the Main
Operations panel.
