The High Resolution Mirror Assembly (HRMA) of the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (Imaging) (AXAF-I) consists of four nested paraboloids and four nested hyperboloids, all of meter-class size, and all of which are to be assembled and aligned in a special 15 meter tower at Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, NY. The goals of the alignment are (1) to make the images of the four telescopes coincident; (2) to remove coma from each individually; and (3) to control and determine the final position of the composite focus. This will be accomplished by the HRMA Alignment Test System (HATS), which is essentially a scanning Hartmann test system. The scanning laser source and the focal plane of the HATS are part of the Centroid Detector Assembly (CDA), which also includes processing electronics and software. In this paper we discuss the design and the measured performance of the CDA.
