Aligning the optics
To align the optics on the target machine, follow these steps:
1 Set the laser head’s upper port to the small aperture by turning the upper
aperture control (Figure 2-13).
2 Rotate the target into position on the laser head’s lower port by turning
the lower aperture control.
3 Set the laser head’s turret ring to OTHER.
4 Adjust the laser head so the beam enters the lens on the interferometer
and the return beam is on or near the target on the laser head’s lower
port.

5 Adjust the interferometer assembly or the laser head so the return beam
(seen as a dot on the laser head) is centered on the laser head’s target.
