This test verifies the FOM's mechanical operation. A 7 x 1 grid of points will be made by moving the FOM in steps of 6.5 from -20 to +19 arcsec relative to the 0 position {-36 to +3 relative to the default NIC3 FOM position of +16 arcsec}. We also have an additional FOM position at the default NIC3 position. These exposures all use the F166N filter. At the end of this sequence we will take F222M exposures at three additional FOM positions, the default position {+16 arcsec relative to the center point of the FOM mechanical range} and +/- 2 arcsec. This is to test for vignetting. Prerequisites for this test are cool down to nominal operating temperature {cold and stable, near the expected final temperature set point, but not necessarily the final temperature set point} and the filter wheel minifunctional and the filter wheel tests {proposals 8944 and 8972}.
