Dektak 3ST (Stylus Profiler) aka "III-V Profiler"

 
The profiler placed in 346-904 (Dektak 3ST).

The Dektak 3ST is intended for profile measurements on samples outside the cleanroom. It is located in the basement, building 346, room 904.


The user manual, technical information and contact information can be found in LabManager.

The computer connected to the Dektak 3ST is pretty old and runs Windows 98 SE. It is not connected to the network but traces can be saved on either USB memory stick or floppy disk. The USB driver is an old universal driver and has been shown to work with small size USB sticks. However it did not work with an 8GB Kingston stick.
