NIF TAS Viewer

The NIF TAS (Target Alignment System) Viewer displays the target as viewed from four camera angles used in the target alignment system of the NIF target chamber.

To display the viewer, select the View | NIF TAS Viewer menu item.  This can also be done by clicking the Show NIF TAS Viewer button () on the Main Window Toolbar.

The parameters for the four views are:

Name	Polar Angle (deg)	Azimuthal Angle (deg)	Field of View (mm)

Bottom (LTAS)	180	0	7.06 x 5.30
Top Jaw Side (USIDE)	90	109.5	9.73 x 7.29
Bottom Jaw Side (LSIDE)	90	95.0	10.27 x 7.70

For NIF TAS Viewer, field of view (FOV) can be shown. To show/hide the FOV box, use the Show | Field of View menu item in the NIF TAS Viewer.

Parameters for setting the rotation of the Top and Bottom TAS views (i.e., rotation along the optical axis) can be specified on the User Interface tab of the Preferences dialog.
