| 2 | • **Phase** : 1 |
| 3 | • **Status** : Draft |
| 4 | • **Category** : Installation, integration, verification (C1) |
| 5 | • **Recurrence** : once |
| 6 | • **Duration** : 2 hour(s) |
| 7 | **Description** |
| 8 | • Check the internal alignment of the SHARK-NIR using the light sources within. |
| 9 | **Prerequisites** |
| 10 | • SHARK-NIR connected to LBT network. |
| 11 | • Electronics cabinets on. |
| 12 | • The cryostat should be running and cooled down. |
| 13 | **Procedure** |
| 14 | • Use the on-axis calibration fiber and checking if the spot position on the scientific detector is consistent with the one recorded before shipping for multiple bearing angles. |
| 15 | • Check the pupil position at the detector and verify the consistency with the one before shipping. |
| 16 | • Check the relative alignment of the coronographic masks |
| 17 | • Verify the contrast obtained for different sets of masks on the scientific camera and compare it with the values before shipping. |
| 18 | • If necessary, re-align the optical bench internally. |
| 19 | **Success criteria** |
| 20 | • The on-axis spot at the SCICAM is where it should be across the bearing rotation? |
| 21 | • Use pupil images and compare? |
| 22 | • PSF quality across? |
