port'
s large aperture.

You
are
now
ready to align the

ser

is
to adjust the
la
s
er
Head
to
track the
Optic
's
progression
along
the travel path.
while
maintaining the beam's near-end-of-travel position. You
will
do
this by -
• Keeping the beam in the ring
on
the Re

oreflector
,
to
maintain
the
beam'
s near-
end-
of

, and '-
•
Keeping a
two

dot
pattern in
line
with
the
jun
c
tion
of
the Reflec
tor'
s
mirrors
, and
symmetrical about
its
s
lotted
opening,
to
match the
Opti
c's travel.
This will be a
little
different
than aligning
for
Distance and Angular measurements, since
with
these alignments you were only watc
hing
one

Move
the Optics to the far end
of
travel.

about
its slotted
opening.

hold
a card
on
ea
ch side
of
the Reflector's slot to
follow
their
movement
