Can we say that ScanAsyst is "included in" PeakForce QNM?

Actually, we should say that PeakForce Tapping is a combination of 2 features:

1) ScanAsyst, which is fully automated AFM.

2) PeakForce QNM which is PeakForce Tapping in a quantitative manner. This requires a complete calibration of the probe.

During QNM operation, the user is free to select ScanAsyst mode ON, OFF, or INDIVIDUAL (to enable/disable each of the parameters like Setpoint, gain, scan rate,...).
