5.1.3 Axis Orientation—Motorized X-Y Stages
When viewing the Dimension 3100 SPM from the front, stage movements are defined over two
axes of motion: X (left-right), and Y (front-back). For X-axis movements, lesser (decreasing)
coordinates are located to the left. For Y-axis movements, positive (increasing) coordinates are
located toward the rear of the machine, decreasing values are located forward (see Figure 5.1a).
