   - Manually locate the four corners by adjusting the position of the sensor using the software. Increasing the position in the positive x-direction shifts the plate towards the right side of the box, and increasing the position in the positive y-direction shifts the plate towards the back of the box. Once at the corner of an active region, the observed waveform amplitude will decrease and totally disappear.   - Manually locate the four corners by adjusting the position of the sensor using the software.

   - Once the four corners have been located, shine the laser somewhere in the middle of one of the four quadrants. There is a macro script to run which adjusts the z position (height) of the laser while measuring the voltage. Using this, we can find out the optimum distance the laser should be from the sensor.   - Once the four corners have been located, shine the laser somewhere in the middle of one of the four quadrants.

 +  - Alternatively, one could run a preview scan once some signals have been detected on the oscilloscope to locate the center of the sensor with greater precision. As shown in the example picture below, which is the preview 2D heat map of the voltage readout from one of the two channels of the daughter board, the position can be determined by hovering the mouse over the center of the slide.
