consumer serviceable components. Service should be performed by authorized service centers.
NANOSCAN OP400 QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS
The standard NanoScan OP400
system consists of:
(1) - NanoScan OP400
Piezo Objective Scanner
(1) - NPC-D-6110 Controller
(1) - Microscope Thread Adapter
(1) - 1.3mm (0.05 inch) Hex Key

Microscope Thread Adapter
STEP 1: Select the position for the
OP400 on the nosepiece.
STEP 2: Insert the microscope thread
adapter.
STEP 3: Connect the OP400 to the
nosepiece. Tighten with the hex key.
STEP 4: Insert the objective lens using the appropriate objective lens adapter. Note no
adapter is necessary for M32. Other objectives can be inserted into the nose piece using
option parfocal spacers.
STEP 5: The OP400 unit is
now properly installed.

Used to communicate with an
external computer.
Controller Synchronizing signals.
Only used to synchronize multiple
6000 controllers.
Power Indicator ED
Indicates the power status and functionality of the
product. RED steady = Controller configuring/not
ready (can take up to 30 seconds). GREEN steady =
Controller powered and ready for operation
C OSED INDICATOR ED
Indicates the status of the stage control oop
OFF = Stage NOT connected
ORANGE = Stage settings being loaded on connection
RED = Controller operating in OPEN loop mode
GREEN = Controller operating in C OSED loop mode
YE OW = Controller servo output frozen
COMS Indicator ED
Indicates the state of the controller communications with
the connected computer. Not lit = No communications
taking place. GREEN lit or flashing =
Communications are taking place
IN POS Indicator ED
Indicates the status of the stage position in
C OSED loop mode. ORANGE = Stage settings
being loaded on connection. OFF = Stage has not
reached the desired position. GREEN = Stage has
reached the desired position (within specified limits)
Nano Mechanism Connector – connect the OP400 to
this position. This provides the stage piezo HV supply,
power for calibration EEPROM and measuring
signals for capacitive sensor operation. NOTE High
Voltage present on connector – up to 160VDC

TURNINGON YOUR SYSTEM
1. Once the stage is mounted, connect stage to the controller ensuring that the connector screws are tightened to the controller
lock posts.
2. Connect Power to controller and USB interface to the PC.
3. Switch ON controller using switch on rear panel. After approx. 30 seconds, the relevant stage channel should show two green
lights (Closed and IN-POS). This indicates the stage is operating in the C OSED loop mode and IN-POS ED indicates stage has
reached position within a pre-defined band.
4. The analogue input and POS MON output is 0V to +10V giving a scale factor of 40µ/volt. The analogue input is enabled by
default. The Scale Factor is in microns per volt. 50 microns per volt for the OP400.
5. The system has 8 memory positions for PID settling (accessible via the USB interface). The system has been shipped with
optimized settings for different objective loads, resolution and step settle requirements. The default setting has been optimized for
loads from 150g to 500g. To change to the other settings it is necessary to connect to a computer, the next section demonstrates
how to change to other settings. Do not change settings too fast for load used or damage to the unit may occur.

The standard customer-facing application for the system is called ‘Nanobench 6000’, and is included on the
USB drive included in the shipment. This also includes software or links to software which must be installed
before the software can be used.
Visual C++ untime
Labview untime Engine
‘Nanobench 6000’ runs on Windows XP, 7, 8, 10.
Once Nanobench and associated software has been installed and controller functional, go to
Windows Device Manager, and find the COM port that the controller is connected to (e.g. ‘COM12’).
Select the correct COM port within Nanobench 6000, then click ‘Connect’: At this point the
software should connect to the controller and begin reading the live measured position.

Presets
The QGOP-400-UP/QGOP-400-INV/QGOP-400UP-HL and QGOP-400-INV-HL come with stored
settings which have been optimized for fast step settle times and objective loads. The datasheet
provided with your OP400 provides information on the presets for your device.
