 <font inherit/inherit;;inherit;;transparent>Unless the baseline solution is old, the offsets will be near zero. If you did not find fringes +/- 1 to 2 mm from zero, make sure your fluxes are good and that there are no other issues before looping far away from zero. Page 29.</font>

 <font inherit/inherit;;inherit;;transparent>If you were already locked on fringes and they have gone away, they are likely very close by. Looping away from the offset by hundreds of microns will not usually find the fringes. Check your fluxes first and then cart tracking (cart rms error) before deciding the fringe offset is far away from where it was recently. Manually stepping the cart up or down 20 microns often finds lost fringes. Page 30.</font>
