About this chapter
In this chapter, we describe the procedures that are required to come to an AutoAlignment Head that is ready to be operated. It is
assumed that the XDS RACU MCU and eRACU are fully connected, installed and configured and that the AutoAlignment Head is
fully installed as well (see previous chapter).
After having powered the full system and having selected the correct Display system from the User Interface, plugins for the Camera,
Spectrometer and Gimbal must be enabled in the XDS RACU software and the Gimbal home position can be changed.
In applications where it is required to have multiple physical positions where the AutoAlignment Head can be installed, these posi-
tions must be defined. This can be the case if a mechanical module (e.g. cockpit, metal beams) is in
part obstructing the Field of
View of the AutoAlignment Head.
In a next step, the operator must define the locations on the projected image where the Spectrometer and Camera should be pointed
at during measurements, and learn those positions to the AutoAlignment Head. For Dynacolor measurements and gray level cor-
rection, 1 single point is used, for uniformity corrections multiple points need to be defined.
Finally the ECR (Enhanced Contrast Ratio, or adjustable iris in the projection lens) can be calibrated if available. Now the AutoAlign-
ment Head is fully ready to be operated.

Starting up the MCU
It is not required to log in on Windows on the MCU in order for the eRACU to connect to the XDS RACU server.
