System Alignment

1. Choose the largest calibration target that will fit within the cameras' field of view
(FOV). Place the calibration target on the sample support rails such that it is
roughly in the center of the oven. The target should be oriented with the long
dimension running left to right.
2. Close the oven lid, being careful that there is enough of a gap above the
calibration target so that there is clearance when the lid closes.
