== P2.5	SOUL AO system tests == 
•	**Phase**		:	2  
•	**Status**		: 	Draft	 
•	**Category**		: 	Daytime testing (functionality and operability) (C2)	
•	**Recurrence**	: 	after instrument installation at telescope platform
•	**Duration**		: 	2 hour(s)
**Description**
•	Proper working of the SOUL AO system is essential for the performance of the SHARK-NIR instrument. We test the working of the SOUL AO system looking at the on-axis PSF (RR) with known disturbances running on the ASM. Also, we test the working of the new features - the waffle mode and inserting a static disturbance to the ASM.
**Prerequisites**
•	RR mounted and SHARK-NIR aligned to telescope.
**Procedure**
•	a
•	b 
**Success criteria**
•	SOUL AO system working in tandem with the SAHRK-NIR system.
•	Acceptable improvement of the on-axis PSF (RR) while SOUL AO is closed with known disturbances. 
•	Get a new and improved daytime telescope model for SHARK-NIR, if necessary.
•	Successfully running the waffle mode and setting a static shape on the ASM.


**Notes**
**LBTO support**
•	Mount the RR on SX
•	Support from LBT SW Team, LBTI/Arcetri team.
**Associated SHARK-NIR personnel**
•	JF, LM, MdP, MM (from AZ)
