<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">My local expert suggested this:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">to add in a signal from a basic voltage source (ie photomultiplier, detector or other analogue voltage source) then the easiest way to do that is via the General I/O BNC’s on the front of the NSV controller.
They don’t need the breakout box in that case. Then in the software, they can choose the Input 1 or Input 2 as one of the spare channels (up to 8 channels available to acquire – so they just choose that one of those channels is Input 1 or Input 2).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If they have a more complex signal input (ie high speed AC frequency, pulsed photon counter etc) or they specifically need/want to use the SBOB then that will need some more specific discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b>Subject:</b> [labnetwork] How to display an external signal as an image on a Dimension AFM?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Colleagues - We have an old but still working Dimension AFM from Digital Instruments (now Bruker), and we are doing a type of electrical AFM using homebuilt electronics. We'd like to display
the signal from the homebuilt electronics as an image on the Dimension AFM. We have the "Signal Access Module" breakout box, so we can easily access all the wires connecting between the controller and the AFM. It seems like there are connections on that box
that should permit showing the signal applied as an image, but I don't see a way to do it. Maybe we need the right configuration files?
