Calibration of the new, high precision SmarAct MCS2 sample manipulator stage Hand Control Module of the nuclear microprobe, and development of a generalized trajectory streaming python code on two channels.

Abstract

This thesis work presents the results of the calibration of the group channels, knobs, and joysticks of the Hand Control Module of the new, high precision SmarAct MCS2 sample manipulator stage of the scanning nuclear microprobe installed at the Tandetron particle accelerator, located at HUN-REN ATOMKI. The objective of this work is to act as a manual for any possible future user who requires a new configuration of the hand control module. Another result shown in this thesis work is the development of a generalized trajectory streaming python code on two channels in a user-friendly way, aimed at users who do not necessarily have knowledge of the python programming language. An example of a circular trajectory, as well as three Lissajous curve paths are included with videos recorded of their respective trajectory streaming.
