All of these are daytime activities. We anticipate 1 trip to LBT if no or minor re-alignment is required. If a major re-alignment is required, there will be 2 trips to LBT. This forms the content of the __PSR-09 Preliminary Laboratory Integration & Test (I&T) Procedure__ (at LBT). [Pre-commissioning: Unpack, assemble, and clean-room verification] 33 35 34 **Phase 2**: The activities start from the installation ofSHARK-NIR at the SX central bent Gregorian focus of LBT, followed by preliminary functional checks, aligning SHARK-NIR to the telescope (daytime), and daytime closed dome engineering/technical testing. All of these are daytime activities (2 trips to LBT). [Pre-commissioning: Installation, functional checks, and closed-dome testing]35 36 **Phase 3**: Phase 3 commences the nighttime commissioning, starting from sending preset to the telescope to testing individual SHARK-NIR observation modes for performance to the total SHARK-NIR performance. The final form of the SHARK-NIR software, observing blocks, data-reduction pipeline, etc., will be tested for all the observing cases of the instrument. All the activities are at nighttime (4 trips to LBT). There will be a common run (Com-Run-1) to test the basic common requirements for each o f the observing cases. After the completion of each of these runs, SHARK-NIR will be ready for Phase 4 (science verification) of the respective observing cases.

If you click on the individual activity, you can find more details. __8 hours is considered as the duration of a day__. Of course, depending on the month of the year, make sure to estimate the correct number of days/nights required at the LBT. Each table below corresponds to a trip to LBT. 123 125 124 From commissioning experience at the LBT, for the daytime activities at the telescope platform, the telescope may be handed over around 09:00 am local time. And, the SHARK-NIR team needs to hand over the telescope to LBT ~2 hours before the sunset (unless we have the first half of the night or full night and to be negotiated with the telescope operator). As a general rule, the SHARK-NIR team will be working alsoon the weekends when at the summit. Of course, if LBTO support is required, this will be communicated with the LBTO mountain manager well in advance. Note that the duration of the individual activities mentioned in this document will not match that of AD4 for the same activities.126 From commissioning experience at the LBT, for the daytime activities at the telescope platform, the telescope may be handed over around 09:00 am local time.

Location''': LBT platform. All activities are __nightime__. Some daytime (within SHARK-NIR) may be required. Also, the SHARK-NIR software, SHINS, is expected to be almost ready to be tested. 181 184 182 Phase 3 is further divided into 4 runs (Com-Run-#), each corresponding to a trip to LBT. Com-Run-1 consists of common activities essential for every observing case. This will be the first to be tested on-sky. Com-Run-2 to Com-Run-4 are__interchangeable__. It is currently sorted to have the software complexity in the increasing order and also considering the science interest. By the end of these 4 runs, all the SHARK-NIR observing cases will be verified on sky. For each o f the observing cases, one (or a maximum of two) target(s) will be tested. The contrast obtained from the data will be used as the merit function or success criterion. If contrast is not an option, a similar (or another) merit function will be used. After the completion ofeach of these runs, SHARK-NIR will be ready for Phase 4 (science verification) of the respective observing cases.185 Phase 3 is further divided into 4 runs (Com-Run-#), each corresponding to a trip to LBT.

For example, we anticipate that it may take between 10-20 minutes to move and set the telescope and close the AO loop from one target to another (numbers from the LUCI overheads table). This extra duration required will be mostly covered within the 15% contingency and/or the rounding up of the total nights.
