Tip definitions are stored by user-defined names. The recommended
convention to use is Serial No. Date Method (ie TB12938 042812
Express Test).
Stored information includes: Modulus (Tip material), Poisson's Ratio
(Tip material), Frame Stiffness, Constants for the function A= f(d). See
Figure 6-91 on page 6-66.
Note the default value for the variable Tip Area Constant is zero. This
value should remain zero unless a tip which is physically flat at the apex
is used. Only in this case is a non-zero value required for the Tip Area
Constant variable.
Add and Remove buttons are used to add or remove tips from the
23
stored list.
Once a tip is removed from the application NanoSuite no longer stores
the tip information. However, any data acquired (.mss file) with the
removed tip will keep the tip information stored regardless of whether
or not the tip is deleted from NanoSuite the application.
Choose to:
24
• Calibrate Tip and Frame (most common)
• Calibrate Frame (less common)
• Calibrate Tip (rare)
Once the calibration selection is made, change the settings under the
