The Nanosurf control software publishes its functionality via the COM interface, by running an instance of COM Automation Server. COM Automation Clients can ask the server during the runtime about its functions and access them. These functions can be accessed through most modern programming languages: Python, C++, C#, VBS, Matlab, JS, LabView, etc.
For detailed library documentation, please download the Python Library Overview.
We have created a Python API for Nanosurf's AFM control software allowing you to automate routine tasks and create customized experiments and workflows with Python scripts. Please find complete documentation in our Programmers Manual.
The Nanosurf Python package can be downloaded and installed from PyPI using pip:
