F4. Alignment
A-Chain alignment consists of calibrating the projector(s) optical film path, the solar cell, and the optical
preamp. These adjustments consist of both mechanical alignments on the projector(s) and software
settings in the AP25. Adjustments on the projector(s) optical heads differ depending on the manufacturer;
however the end results are the same. This section describes briefly the projectors optical head
adjustment, for detail adjustments refer to that projector manufacturer’s recommended procedure.
