• add a capability to put by default 'dither' to Yes
• press Y after the dither step again
• Add detailed/"expert" alignment steps as a link
• press Y until happy with the shape
• after SHG optimization, if you want to check Scope B enable 10 Hz on nsSlicer

If there are some visible sign of clipping in the pinhole and/or irregular profile when observing beam on orange paper, then make adjustments in both axis of the VSF pinhole to minimize the clipping/flaring of the beam. This adjustment, in turn, should improve the spatial profile of the beam when observed at 10Hz YFE only on the orange paper when the paper is placed just after the final telescope before the beam reflects up from large periscope. Adjustments to the pinhole will have pretty significant affects on the spatial profile delivered to the amplifiers but there are not any conditions on the alignment or mis-alignment of this pinhole that can result in damage to the amplifiers. 

As an alternative to using the orange paper as the indication on good beam quality through the pinhole, the Cam 3 and Cam 4 can be used. To do this, the large roll up doors will need to be opened so that the Nd filters in front of these cameras can be temporarily removed. This procedure and additional steps necessary for a more detailed alignment of the YFE beam through the amplifier heads can be found in this link:
