Piezo Nano Positioning
Communication between PI components is based upon a universal command set (GCS General Command Set). It decouples hardware and software, and is used for all drive
principles.
Piezo Nano Positioning
Operating Positioning Systems Effectively & Conveniently
The high quality of positioning
systems is made apparent in
daily operation by PI software.
Starting with simple commis-
sioning, through convenient
operation with a graphical
interface, to quick and simple
integration in customized pro-
grams with high performance,
PI software covers all aspects
important to an application.
Universal Command Set
Simplifies Commissioning
and Programming
For uniform operation of nano
and micropositioning systems,
the universal PI General
Command Set (GCS) is used.
GCS operation is independent
of the controller or drive princi-
ple used, so that several posi-
tioning systems can be con-
trolled together, or new sys-
tems can be introduced with a
minimum of programming
effort. With GCS the develop-
ment of custom application
programs is simplified and less
prone to errors, because the
commands for all supported
PI Software
devices are identical in syntax
and function. Through the use
of the GCS command set with
its convenient functions, the
orientation phase and applica-
tion development process is

significantly accelerated. The
GCS commands are available
at the controller terminal, in
macros and in the form of a
universal driver set for

Software Updates Online
PI supports users with free
updates, detailed online help
and well structured manuals
which ease initiation of the
inexperienced but still answer
the detailed questions of the
professional.

Simple Commissioning and
Optimization of System
Dynamics
The commissioning of PI posi-
tioning systems is quick and
easy with the NanoCapture
TM
and PIMikroMove host soft-
ware. Controller and stages are
selected and activated with a
few clicks. Then the system can
be used directly. Running the
system from the NanoCapture
or PIMikroMove host software
graphical interface requires no
programming knowledge, either
for commissioning or direct
operation.
Furthermore the system behav-
ior is displayed graphically in
easy-to-understand diagrams
and allows fast and easy opti-
mization of the operating para-
meters such as P-I-D terms,
notch filter frequencies and
slew rate limit.

mized dynamic parameters
Optimizing System Performance for Digital Piezo Controllers
NanoCapture Software
NanoCapture provides basic
and highly advanced functions
for operating digital piezo
servo-controllers. With its
graphical interface, Nano-
Capture enables convenient
system optimization and can
display settling behavior, reso-
nance frequency, Bode plots,
etc. If the nanopositioning sys-
tem is equipped with directly
measuring position sensors,
these features are available
w/oadditional instrumentation.
Comprehensive System
Optimization
The functions described above
are especially useful when the
mechanical properties of the
system calibrated at the factory
are changed, e. g. by applying a
higher load.

Convenient operation of piezosystems and optimization of motion parameters,

In such a case, the adjustment
of parameters like control-loop
amplification (P-I parameters),
notch filter frequency or the
zero-point of the integrated
sensors, can optimize response
behavior and system stability.
In addition, NanoCapture
supports numerous controller
specific properties, like for
instance the Wave Generator,
which offers synchronized
operation of multiple axes with
mathematically defined curves,
or with arbitrarily costomized
functions.
