createc 0.0.1

A python interface with Createc scanning probe microscope

Modules and scripts to interface with Createc STM

• createc: contains two main modules

  • Createc_pyCOM: contains a wrapper class to interface with the Createc software

    After import createc an instance can be created using stm = createc.Createc_pyCOM.CreatecWin32()

    By calling stm.client.stmbeep(), the testing beep sound will be heard. All other availabe remote operation can be found at spm-wiki

    In addtion, several custom methods are available, such as stm.ramp_bias_mV and stm.ramp_current_pA etc.

  • Createc_pyFile: contains several classes to read .dat, .vert files etc. For example, an image instance can be created by image_file = createc.Createc_pyFile.DAT_IMG('path/to/filename.dat')

• scripts: contains useful scripts which can be excuted starting in the top directory using e.g. python -m scripts.osc.oscilloscope -z

To do:

• adjust annotation font size in oscilloscope
• refactor list of z_off for tracking script
• refactor pyFile for inheritance
• isolate confidential parameters
• take gain into consideration for ramping current
• hover to show file name does not work for tilted image in map script
