Make sure the info is correct including having the energy settings such that you can use them to move to both ends of the range. Type moveE X where X is the center of the energy range the group wishes to use. Type mv pzt 5 to center the piezo crystal in the middle of its range. Manually tweak the monochromator second crystal theta and travel to maximize counts in the first ion chamber. Don't forget to coordinate the monochromator motors by setE if this latter step is needed.
Type opens .
This opens the shutter box letting beam through the collimator. If you're lucky you will see counts in the collimator ion chamber and you can type closes to close the shutter box and go on to the next step. This will maximize the optical table w.r.t. letting beam through the collimator. The former should be used if you know the table is close. The latter if you know the table is far away.
