Understanding the nanoindenter:
Table of Contents:
1. Basic set up:
1.1 Unpacking
1.2 Moving the instrument
1.3 Getting the Tip Calibrated
Hello if you are reading this you need to know some basics on how to operate and or handle the iNano nanoindenter from nanomechanics. This is a guide giving basic and complicated set-up and configurations you may come across. I hope this helps you get a better understanding of the nanoindenter.

Go straight to page 5 and read from there on how to set up the device.
Congratulations you should now be operational.
Key note: if the system is ever turned off or there is any problems that cause you to have to restart the system. To get the camera operational you will need to either look through the set up again or hit all the initialize buttons. when you do this make sure you hit the Z extension initialize first before x and y so you do not break the tips. If this does not work select the camera source first then start this note again.
1.2 This step you can skip especially since I have gotten the nanoindenter set-up in the best position possible, but if for some reason you need to move the nanoindenter equipment follow these steps:
1.Open InView
2. Go into the little wrench in the the pucks window and hit show control panels
3. Click on z control and under extension control hit 'Init' after this you can proceed to do the same for x and y.
4. Next step you need to find the 2 small rods that go into the transducer, now you could remove it or leave it in. if you have the rods it should be fine, but if you need to remove it first unplug the transducer and then slowly unscrew it( be cautious of not touching the nanoindener tip.

5. Now you can close the programs and start shutting down.
6. Once it is all shut down take the plastic tubing and put it on the transducer covering the tip (this step is optional if you did not remove the transducer. page 17 shows how and what the tubing looks like in the unpacking packet.
7. you need to put in the brackets under the system to hold it in place. You do not need to screw them in unless you are shipping the nanoindenter. Page 11 of the unpacking packet shows you what the brackets look like.

Basic set up:
1.1 The first thing you need to do in this phase is find the Nanomehanics Unpacking instructions, because this a well written instruction packet on how to set up the nanoindenter.image 1 ( of instructions book)
