| | 3 | It is important during self stacking that the HET shutter and CCAS tower remain closed. Do '''NOT''' open these shutters during this procedure. |

| | 5 | == |
| | 6 | 1.) In the APC control window make sure to turn on the wavescope. |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | 2.) Also check to make sure MARS is started and running. |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | 3.) On the camera control, go to channel 2 to view AOA. |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | 4.) In the windows machine, start the wavescope software and select manual alignment. In the pop up select the last file. |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | 5.) In the wavescope software terminal enter the command ''shuttermode'' then do an ''S0'' command. |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | '''NOTE:''' The wave scope software will then begin to send a series of prompts. It will ask for you to open HET shutters during this time, do '''NOT''' open the HET shutter. Rather treat every command as if it were a command for the reference shutter (bear in mind this will result in some duplicate commands, if two open commands occur in a row just keep the reference shutter open and click ok on the prompt). |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | 6.) Follow the prompts as if they are for the reference shutter and make sure to click ok for the script to continue. |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | 7.) Wait for the mirror RSE to be within 100 of the Target RSE and tip/tilt to be less than 0.3 |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | 8.) If you wish to stack multiple times just run another ''S0'' command and repeat step 6 and 7. |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | 9.) When you are done stacking, make sure to close the reference shutter and to turn off the wavescope in the APC GUI. |
