aperture align problems

[John Cumings]

Kai Mei,

I'm not sure, but I think this may also be caused by not doing a proper
gun align first.  Remember that the scan speed during gun alignment can
affect the adjustment.  For proper gun alignment, you should operate at
scan speed 9 when in emission mode.  

I presume you knew this, but it is good that we have this email list just
so we can double-check each other.

Best,

-John
