    Continue by checking the alignment of the drive lasers

    •  

      Decrease the energy of the laser to its minimum

      Code Block
      language py theme RDark linenumbers true
      op.HWPon("all", set_T=0)

    •  Confirm the filter of Questar 1 is in position 2 (no filter) to allow all wavelength to be seen
    •  Adjust the signal on the camera my moving the slider 'max' to the maximum value and set the gain to 0
    •  Set the NsSlicer to 10Hz and then click on the corresponding button which says 'ENB'
    •  Confirm you see a scattering signal close to the X-ray cross (342, 561)
    •  

      Move the hexapod X axis to center the beams on the cross and produce a round scattering signal

      x.tg_x.umvr(50e-6)

• •  Continue by checking the alignment of the VISAR system
    •  

      Adjust the VISAR Z axis to make sure the image is round and sharp (could be set to the value by using the right equation as well)

      Code Block
      language py theme RDark linenumbers true
      x.visar_z.umvr(50e-6)

    •  Alternatively, move the Z value by exactly the hitckness of the ablator + material of interest and add the change in position due to the visar window

      Code Block
      language py theme RDark linenumbers true
      op.visar_z(material="LiF", thickness=400e-6)

  Take a reference

  Code Block

  Take a shot

  Code Block
  language py theme RDark linenumbers true
  op.optical_shot( shutter_close=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], lpl_ener=0.3, timing=5.0e-9 xray_trans=1, xray_threshold=0.2, save=True, daq_end=True, auto_trig=True, auto_charge=True, visar=True, debug=False, ps_opt=True )
