 +==== Configuration of the multihole / multishot acquisition ====
 +
 +Do this configuration just before starting the acquisition on one of the squares selected for the whole acquisition after correction of the image shift in x280 and LD mode imaging states.
 +
 +  * On the square map, mark the positions of the 4 holes at the corners of a 9 holes square.
 +  * Go to the center hole with **Go to marker** and properly center on the hole with **Stage shift**.
 +  * Press View in LD mode (ensure that defocus is below -20)
 +  * Open Menu: //Navigation > Montaging & grids > Set multi//
 +  * Change the parameters of the multishot for calibration
 +  * Click on the central hole for positioning
 +  * Adjust the number of shots per hole (in general 3)
 +  * Adjust the distance (72 in general for R 2/2 grids)
 +  * Menu: //Navigation > Montaging & grids > Find hole in regul// to configure
 +  * Select regular pattern 3 x 3
 +  * ++Calibrate after ensuring proper centering on the center hole|<div>
 +  * Move by Image shift to the first corner
 +  * Center properly in the hole using zoom if necessary
 +  * Save the position by clicking on **Save image shift**
 +  * Proceed to the next corner and repeat

 +== Beam tuning ==
 +
 +  * Ensure that LD modes View and Record are perfectly aligned
 +  * Calibrate the proper centering in Record/View/Focus/Trial modes
 + 
 +  * Precisely center Record beam with Direct Alignments/Beam shift
 +  * Check **Continuous update**
 +  * Press View and recenter if necessary with set add beam shift
 +  * ++Then cycle several times between the modes until the beam stop moving|<div>
 +  * Press **Record** and correct Direct Alignments/Beam shift
 +  * Press **Focus** and set add beam shift
 +  * Press **Trial** and set add beam shift
 +  * Repeat
