Software Overview
 

The E-536 is a controller for the P-363 PicoCube™ pico-positioning system providing three ultra-low-noise amplifier channels for piezo shear actuators. The controller design meets the special requirements of the high-speed, ultra-high-performance PicoCube™ XY(Z) piezo stages (see link) of ±250 V for both static and dynamic applications.

The high-performance E-536.3x can output and sink peak currents up to 200 mA featuring a small-signal bandwidth of 10 kHz. The E-536.3xH ultra-high-resolution models provide a position resolution below 0.03 nm at a peak power of 50 W. Both models are available with or without a servo module for closed-loop or open-loop operation.

Superior Resolution and High Dynamics
Open-loop operation is ideal for applications where fast response and very high resolution with maximum bandwith are essential. Here, commanding and reading the traget position in absolute values is either not important or carried out by external position sensors. Together with the P-363 PicoCube™ a resolution of 0.05 nm or better is achieved.

Excellent Position Accuracy with Capacitive Sensors
The E-536.3C versions have integrated sensor electronics and servo-controllers for closed-loop position control. Position feedback is provided by capacitive sensors, like those in the PicoCube™, with resolutions down to 0.1 nm.

Computer Control
Control via PC is possible by installing the E-517, 24-bit interface/display module.

Optionally digital control via a D/A converter is possible. For several D/A boards from National Instruments PI offers a corresponding LabVIEW™ driver set which is compatible with the PI General Command Set (GCS), the command set used by all PI controllers. A further option includes the patented Hyperbit™ technology providing enhanced system resolution.
