| 2 | • **Phase** : 2 |
| 3 | • **Status** : Draft |
| 4 | • **Category** : Daytime testing (functionality and operability) (C2)??? |
| 5 | • **Recurrence** : once at commissioning |
| 6 | • **Duration** : 1 day |
| 7 | **Description** |
| 8 | • Check the working of the internal NCPA routine. Finding the filter defects/artifacts using an internal calibration source (flat /on-axis PSF?) within the instrument. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | **Prerequisites** |
| 11 | • SCICAM cooled down. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | **Procedure** |
| 14 | • Run the Phase-diversity routine using the images taken with the SHARK-NIR internal calibration sources to measure the NCPA within (excluding the deployable arm) |
| 15 | * Take the images of all the filters using the internal calibration source within the instrument to locate/find out the filter defects/artifacts, if any. |
| 16 | • You may take short- and long-exposures to get better contrast of the features if required. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | **Success criteria** |
| 19 | * Internal NCPA routine works fine and the PSF shows improvement in its quality. |
| 20 | • All the filter images saved. |
| 21 | **Notes** |
| 22 | • The time dedicated to this activity has to be considered in combination with the other activities if needed. Parallelism is possible. |

| 31 | DM: flat field or on-axis fiber? I don't know how they do it in SPHERE, but I think a flat field source is more suitable. |
