1) Select x-ray energy:
Calculate scattering angle of Si 111 for desired energy with Bragg law calculator (or approximate Theta ~ asin(1.977084/E keV) )
Bring up alignment motor tab via DCM flag on main beamline screen - DCM soft motors
Drive DCM Theta to the correct Bragg angle for the desired energy
Drive both undulators to the desired energy plus an approximate offset of +0.1keV

NOTES:
i) If DCM theta looks low for the current energy (~2-4 deg) you may need to re-set user offset (current calibrated theta offset = dial + 8.646deg)
ii) Approximate undulator offsets are ~ desired energy +0.1 keV at ~8keV, +0.2keV at 12 keV

Set roll to maximum intensity - correct for backlash.
NOTES:
i) Correct for backlash by driving to first scan point, then to maximum (e.g. after scan drive relative position -0.1, then drive absolute position to max)

Set piezo to maximum intensity.
NOTES:
i) DCM feedback should be OFF (DCM flag on main beamline screen)
