Hello Yasir, Welcome, and a lot of fun starting with AFM. For manuals, check your computer, on the D drive there should be a directory "manuals" with a lot of different manuals for a lot of systems. Also especially in the nanoscoop analysis use the F1 "Help, very good and very helpful. Also have a look at the section Application Notes

Hello Aarthi, I am not 100% sure it will work with the Tm deflection, but I am pritty sure you have to fill in the tip-diameter, can not be zero. If you did not calibrate it, you can use an average value from the probe side, 40 nm. Your springconstant is around 300 N/m instead of 5 N/m. Your Poissoint ratio ... fill in 0.1 instead of 0. Your Half angle

Today we found a solution thanks to Bruker America!

Chelsea, can you upload a picture of an example?

See answer from Bede http://nanoscaleworld.bruker-axs.com/nanoscaleworld/forums/t/1336.aspx , you probably lost some calibration settings while upgrading to 8.15 I have not looked at the calibration procedure (I am at home) but it is written there, but if I remember right it was ETR2 depending on some values you find during the calibration . Do you

OK thanks, I will check some things on the computer then..... Joop

End of last week we found an error in the 8.15 version of the software. For us it is not possible to make a termal tune in the setting 5-2000 kHz. This setting we need for calibration of e.g. the Scan-Assist Liquid tips (~120 kHz). It brings up this error : There is not running any other program in the background. Restarting the software is not helping

Peak Force error can be compared to deflection error in contact mode and amplitude error in tapping mode. Peakforce error is the feedback signal in PFQNM like the deflection error is in contact mode and the amplitude error is in tapping mode. You get no real information out of these signals, they "just" make nice pictures (3d) for the eye

start reading and there is a lot more......

as a complement to Ben's answer, it depends a little bit on the AFM you have. On a Dimension with ~6 um z-range it is difficult to do it on a clean surface, on the Catalyst with a z-range of ~25 um this is not a problem any more.
