Optimize the Image

1. Start the Generic Sweep by clicking the Sweep icon in the The Workflow Toolbar to open the Generic Sweep window:

2. Set the Channel 1 Data Type to LS PR Inphase and the Channel 2 Data Type to LS PR Quadrature.
3. Set the Sweep Output to PR Drive Phase. 
4. Click the Offset Cursor Mode radio button.
5. Drag the dashed red cursor to the point of maximum response and click Execute to set the PR Drive Phase.
6. Click Exit to exit the Generic Sweep function.

This will change the PR Drive Phase to maximize the PR In Phase signal and minimize the PR Quadrature signal:

7. Similarly, one may also optimize LS PR Quadrature.

Additional information about the piezoresponse mode can be found in Piezoresponse Atomic Force Microscopy Using a NanoScope V Controller, Bruker p/n 013-444-000.
