STM mode in WSXM is 'Constant Current' or 'Constant Height' ? #2

Dear developer,

I have questions about plotting STM images in WSXM. After loading TH_V_voltage.siesta file into WSXM, I proceeded with the following steps: Process -> Filter -> Create STM type image. However, I am uncertain whether the STM images produced are in "constant current" or "constant height" mode. Could you kindly provide guidance on how to ascertain or set this mode within WSXM?

Thank you for your valuable assistance.

Warm regards, Qiezi

Dear Qiezi,

It is constant current. I don't know how to plot in constant height in WSxM.

Best.

Dear developer,

Thank you very much for your quick response. I appreciate your confirmation that the STM images generated are in "constant current" mode. It's very helpful to know this detail.

Best regards, Qiezi
