NS2000 (Sensor controller)

Overview

The NS2000 is a single channel stand-alone electronic module for driving the NX NanoSensor series. It operates by measuring the change in capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor and outputs an analogue voltage proportional to the NanoSensor gap. The voltage output varies linearly between -5V and +5V as the sensor gap changes from 50% to 150% of the nominal NanoSensor gap.

Its compact size, stand alone operation and high resolution makes this ideal for upgrading existing systems where NanoPositioning is required.

Features

  • Subnanometer position resolution

  • Zero hysteresis

  • Linearity error down to 0.02%

  • User adjustable measurement bandwidth (50Hz, 500Hz or 5kHz)

  • User adjustable amplifier gain (for applications that do not use the full measuring range)

  • Selectable long ('-L') or short ('-S') measuring range (2pF or 10pF capacitance)

  • Compact stand alone module

  • Applications (When combined with NanoSensors)

  • Microscopy

  • Monitoring structural deformation

  • Precision engineering

  • Vibration control Building custom closed loop NanoPositioning systems
