-==== The Linear STM ==== 
  
-The linear scanning gives us the current profile from the A point to the B point at constant height of the tip. To run this kind of scan we need to change some values at the "​scan.inp"​ and "​options.inp"​ files. 
- 
-\\ 
- 
-=== options.inp ===    
- 
-Here the settings is same ([The files]), just the **ICUTT** parameter we have to change to value 1. Than the scan will be linear. Other values can stay same. 
- 
-\\ 
- 
-=== scan.inp === 
- 
-In the case of linear scan, the initial and final point should be changed maybe. But the **XMIN XMAX** or the **YMIN YMAX** will be same there. ​ 
- 
- \\ 
- 
-==== ==== 
- 
-Than, you can run the **STM** code for linear scan simulation.

-=== Output ===  
- 
-As an output, we will obtain the "​scan_cut_deno.out"​ or "​scan_cut_nden.out"​ file, depends on the settings (the denominator means the multiple scattering is involved and the *nden.out file is obtained). The file has the following format (there is 50 rows, the scan is from the point (0.0,0.0) to (0.0,​4.1742) for the distance 3A):

- 
-The first column gives us the length of path of the tip over the surface from the initial point, columns 2 and 3 are the x and y coordinate of the tip, 4. is the distance between tip apex and the surface and 5. column gives us the current at the given xy position.
