1 calibcant: tools for thermally calibrating AFM cantilevers
3 Calculates the spring constant `k` of a cantilever using the
8 The analysis uses the expected power spectral density (PSD) of a
9 damped simple harmonic oscillator to filter out noise from the
22 I've packaged calibcant for Gentoo. You need layman_ and my `wtk
23 overlay`_. Install with::
25 # emerge -av app-portage/layman
27 # emerge -av sci-physics/calibcant
32 If you're installing by hand or packaging calibcant for another
33 distribution, you'll need the following dependencies:
35 =========== ================= =====================
36 Package Debian_ Gentoo_
37 =========== ================= =====================
38 Numpy_ python-numpy dev-python/numpy
39 Scipy_ python-scipy sci-libs/scipy
40 H5Py_ python-h5py dev-python/h5py
41 Matplotlib_ python-matplotlib dev-python/matplotlib
42 Nose_ python-nose dev-python/nose
43 FFT_tools_ dev-python/FFT-tools
44 Pypiezo_ sci-libs/pypiezo
45 =========== ================= =====================
47 You'll also need my pyafm_ and stepper_ packages, or suitable
53 Calibcant is available as a Git_ repository::
55 $ git clone http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/code/git/calibcant.git
57 See the homepage_ for details. To install the checkout, run the
60 $ python setup.py install
66 See the module docstrings for simple examples.
72 Run internal unit tests with::
74 $ nosetests --with-doctest --doctest-tests calibcant
