== P3.9 Internal TT loop working and performance== • **Phase** : 3 • **Status** : Draft • **Category** : Nighttime testing (functionality and operability) (C4) • **Recurrence** : once at commissioning • **Duration** : 2 hours **Description** • Evaluate the performance of the internal tip-tilt (TT) loop of SHARK-NIR for stars of varying brightness. **Prerequisites** • Atmospheric conditions: ? • Authorize SHARK-NIR on the SX side. • Stars (of known brightness from 8mag-13mag in R band) as targets. • AO working. **Procedure** • Run the internal TT loop after the star is acquired and the AO loop is closed. * Take unsaturated images of the star for a given (?) science filter before and after the internal TT loop closure in the SCICAM. * Take data in TECCAM simultaneously. * Use data to estimate the improvement of the residual jitter after the TT loop is closed. * Repeat for different star magnitudes. **Success criteria** • Estimate the residual jitter after SOUL-AO is closed for a given seeing and star brightness. * Checking the working and performance of the internal TT loop. * Quantify and numbers to add? **Notes** **LBTO support** • SOUL-AO support **Associated SHARK-NIR personnel** **Date performed and by whom**
