Abstract
A LabVIEWTM 2009-based remote and process control program for an ultra-high vacuum system and a variety of surface science experiments is presented. The apparatus consists of five individual recipients for sample preparation, surface analysis, scanning tunneling microscopy and a central chamber connecting them by means of gate-valves. All processes like electron-beam heating, ion sputtering, gas exposure, thermal and electron-beam evaporation, analysis techniques, sample manipulation can run under full automatic control; transfers are supported.
