====== Gwyscope GUI overview ======


Gwyscope is primarily designed to allow development of user's own interface, i.e. a client which connects to the server running on the hardware. A sample graphical user interface described in this section is only one of all the possible realizations of such client and therefore is far from being complete and optimized.

The GUI addresses:
  * Set up of most typical measurement regimes (contact, tapping) and probe types (optical lever, self-sensing).
  * Scanning using regular or non-regular scan patterns.
  * Multiple path measurements (lift regimes).
  * Point spectroscopy measurements and force volume data acquision.
  * LUA scripting interface for autonomous measurements.
  * Basic visualisation of scanned data, profiles and force-distance curves.
  * Storage of all the data into [[https://gwyddion.net|Gwyddion]] files.

An example of the GUI, when measuring FM-KPFM data, is shown below:

The key parts of the GUI are:
  * Feedback loop settings area, where measurement regime can be selected and its parameters entered.
  * Scan settings area, where different scan regimes can be set.
  * Four data previews, with channels automatically generated from the scanning mode (plus user controlled number of slow ADC input channels).
  * Two graphs, showing either actual signals (default regime), actual scan line (when scanning) or actual ramp (when ramping), with the same set of channels.
