A position sensor of the piezo scanner. It reports the position of the tip relative to the sample, as given by the extension of the scanner piezos, along the axes of the frame named by depends_on (the scanner_frame in NXspm). A group may describe all three axes or a single axis (e.g. the height, or Z, piezo sensor).

Structure:

depends_on: (optional) NX_CHAR ⤆

The frame in which x, y, z and the AXISoffset_value fields are …

The frame in which x, y, z and the AXISoffset_value fields are given. Points to an NXcoordinate_system (the scanner_frame in NXspm).

x: (optional) NX_NUMBER {units=NX_LENGTH}

The position of the tip relative to the sample along x of the frame given …

The position of the tip relative to the sample along x of the frame given by depends_on (e.g. a target or averaged target value).

y: (optional) NX_NUMBER {units=NX_LENGTH}

The position of the tip relative to the sample along y of the frame given …

The position of the tip relative to the sample along y of the frame given by depends_on (e.g. a target or averaged target value).

z: (optional) NX_NUMBER {units=NX_LENGTH}

The position of the tip relative to the sample along z of the frame given …

The position of the tip relative to the sample along z of the frame given by depends_on (e.g. a target or averaged target value). In the scanner frame, z points from the sample towards the probe, so a vendor value that increases as the tip approaches the sample must be stored with the opposite sign.

AXISoffset_value: (optional) NX_NUMBER {units=NX_LENGTH}

The offset that is added to the measured value along the AXIS axis of the fram …

The offset that is added to the measured value along the AXIS axis of the frame given by depends_on. AXIS denotes the x, y or z axis (e.g. x_offset_value).

piezo_configuration: (optional) NXspm_piezo_config

The piezo configuration information like piezoelectric calibration and materia …

The piezo configuration information like piezoelectric calibration and material properties.

SPM_POSITIONER: (optional) NXspm_positioner

The positioner information like the position of the tip, the position of the …

The positioner information like the position of the tip, the position of the sample, PID controller etc.

piezo_material: (optional) NXspm_piezoelectric_material

The material description and properties of the piezoelectric scanner materials.
