Operating Procedure for using the 77-070 Digital Ion Gun Control with the 06-650 Microbeam Column

Select the Ion Gun Control command from the System menu to display the Ion Gun Control dialog box.

It necessary to align the 06-650 Microbeam Ion Column (with 06-660 Duoplasmatron source) the first time the system is used, and any time the ion gun has been physically moved. The procedure for this is dependent on you system type. Please refer to your system documentation for this procedure.

Use the What’s This Help to get information about the fields in the displayed dialog box.

Note that there are some differences between the nomenclature used in your system manuals and in the software. In AugerScan, the Focus is referred to as the Objective, and the X raster is referred to as the size. Also, some system documentation refers to Sputter and Image raster modes. Sputter mode is selected in AugerScan by choosing the Internal Raster option.
