   * Open the NCS application **QtKM** in the Applications Menu. Open file **BLSetup_A1900.gkm**. The magnetic elements that are typically tweaked with the knob box sitting on the left side of u6pc5 are **I232TA**, **I236TC**, and **I245TC** which can be found on page **S800 BLine+Spectrograph**. Other elements used to improve the focusing in the object point, and the transmission are **I172QA** and **I174QB**. The goal of the dispersion-matching tuning is to find a compromise between transmission and resolution.   * Open the NCS application **QtKM** in the Applications Menu.

-         * The two figures below show the spectrum **CRDC1.XG!FOI-AFP-BFP** before (top) and after (bottom) the dispersion-matching tuning for a typical experiment. Be aware that the width given by SpecTcl for the selected peak is not too reliable. It is more convenient to do a real gaussian fit. Unfortunatelly this is not an option included in the current version of SpecTcl. That's why some device physicists prefer SpecTk for this type of tuning+         * The two figures below show the spectrum **CRDC1.XG!FOI-AFP-BFP** before (top) and after (bottom) the dispersion-matching tuning for a typical experiment.
