 These are routine tasks to be performed in and around the lab every evening to prepare the array for regular observations. Note that there is a new Daily Alignment Check Procedure for configurations that do not change night to night. Use it instead of the full alignment given here. These are routine tasks to be performed in and around the lab every evening to prepare the array for regular observations.

 If using CLASSIC or CLIMB, turn on the black box above the NIRO computer, and then turn on the silver box below it on the same cart. Remove cover on camera. After lab is completely setup, you need to take off tiptilt cover if using lab tiptilt, but do so with only the dim lights on and the laser shutter closed so as not to blast CCD with light. If using CLASSIC or CLIMB, turn on the black box above the NIRO computer, and then turn on the silver box below it on the same cart.

 The gui that appears does much of the start up sequence remotely and does not fully start everything yet. This will eventually only require fewer steps to complete. The gui that appears does much of the start up sequence remotely and does not fully start everything yet.

 If using Classic or CLIMB, check to make sure the dither is off by looking at the dither status in the CLASSIC/CLIMB server. If necessary, this can be turned off from the dither tab on the Classic/CLIMB GUI. They are off when gray. Shut off [METSCOPE], [NIRO CPU], and [CLS-DITH], or [CLM-DITH] if used on the POWER gui.
