  The Ideal Interface. IHDL™, RHK’s unique Iconic Hardware Description Language, unites flexibility, function, and simplicity for ideal AFM and STM experimental hardware configuration. IHDL provides fast, intuitive “drag-and-drop” setup using icons that represent hardware, experiment, and microscope components.

IDHL™ Graphical Drag and Drop Hardware Configurator provides fast customized set-up of any complexity. Simply select and graphically connect Hardware Pallet icons for ADCs, DACs, lock-ins, PLLs, etc. R9 devices automatically configure and connect when a template is implemented.

Graphical Drag and Drop Microscope Configurator provides a flexible and highly optimized interface to any microscope. Users can set output limits on high voltage amplifiers as a function of microscope temperature, automatically ground piezo elements during cooling, allow multiple scanners on one microscope, and much more.

Graphical Drag and Drop Experiment Procedure Designer provides simplicity for beginning users, total flexibility for the expert user. Pre-configured experimental templates provided for quick set-up. Personalized templates easily shared with your colleagues. LabVIEW data acquisition and display VIs supported

  Experiment Designer
Standard experiments can be selected from pre-conifigured procedures. New experiments can be designed from scratch or modifications of existing experiments. Using the Proceedure Palette, modules including states, conditionals, loops, timers, delays, counters, signal processing, MATLAB scripts, and LabVIEW VIs can be selected and connected. Procedures can also be imported from completed Labview VIs.
