== P2.8 Verification of the mask centering algorithm and final contrast with SOUL-AO and turbulence at ASM== 
 
- **Phase**		:	2  
- **Status**		: 	Draft	 
- **Category**	: 	Daytime testing (functionality and operability) (C3)
- **Recurrence**	: 	once at commissioning
- **Duration**	: 	3 days

**Description**
- Verify the efficiency of the mask-centering algorithm and the final contrast with SOUL-AO and artificial turbulence introduced at the ASM.

**Prerequisites**
- RR is mounted on the SX side.

**Procedure**
- This test will be performed at zenith. However, in the end, we may check the performance at a different elevation just for verification (for this, we required the RR mounted on the SX side).
- We will perform the test in 3 seeing conditions -0", 0.5", and 0.8".
- For the shaped pupil, we can not create the same conditions as nighttime. However, a best-case scenario will be tested and compared with the results with simulations matching these conditions.
- we have five masks to be tested. Each mask test is expected to take 3 hours of testing.

**Templates**

**Success criteria**
- Final contrast produced for various seeing conditions matches the simulations.

**Notes**

**LBTO support**
- Authorize SHARK-NIR on the SX side.
- RR is mounted on the SX side.
- AO support
