•	**Phase**		:	1  
•	**Status**		: 	Draft	 
•	**Category**		: 	Installation, integration, verification (C1)
•	**Recurrence**	: 	once
•	**Duration**		: 	2 hour(s)
**Description**
•	Check the internal alignment of the SHARK-NIR using the light sources within.
**Prerequisites**
•	SHARK-NIR connected to LBT network.
•	Electronics cabinets on.
•	The cryostat should be running and cooled down.
**Procedure**
•	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. 
•	Check the pupil position at the detector and verify the consistency with the one before shipping.
•	Check the relative alignment of the coronographic masks
•	Verify the contrast obtained for different sets of masks on the scientific camera and compare it with the values before shipping. 
•	If necessary, re-align the optical bench internally. 
**Success criteria**
•	The on-axis spot at the SCICAM is where it should be across the bearing rotation?
•	Use pupil images and compare?
•	PSF quality across?
