The NS2000 is a single channel stand-alone electronic module for driving the NX NanoSensor series. It operates by measuring the change in capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor and outputs an analogue voltage proportional to the NanoSensor gap. The voltage output varies linearly between -5V and +5V as the sensor gap changes from 50% to 150% of the nominal NanoSensor gap.

Its compact size, stand alone operation and high resolution makes this ideal for upgrading existing systems where NanoPositioning is required.
