8 CONCLUDING REMARKS
In this manual the basic operation principles, hardware and software of a PICOSCALE system are
introduced. You should now be able to work efficiently with the
PICOSCALE to perform position
measurements with high accuracy. However, the
PICOSCALE functionality goes far beyond mea-
suring positions only. You may use it as a signal generator, timing module in your laboratory, data
acquisition, perform basic calculations with high speed and many others. A selection of possible
applications as well as summaries of key performances you can find in the application notes on
SmarAct’s homepage or on request. SmarAct will constantly add more and more application notes
so it is worth checking the homepage regularly. You will also find an overview of convenient acces-
sories there. However, if you do not find solutions for your application directly there, please do
not hesitate to contact us. We will be very happy to help and try to find a solution for your precise
measurement or implementation issue as quickly as possible.
We are convinced that the great versatility of the
PICOSCALE offers great potential for many high
precision metrology environments. Enjoy your
PICOSCALE!
