 ==== The Linear STM ==== ==== 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.
