----------------
On the PEC user interface,

1.	Move camera OUT 
2.	Click :guilabel:`Direct EDXD` or :guilabel:`Condensed EDXD` to configure slits, filter, mirror, etc.
3.	Move Tip X to IN position 

.. important:: Tip X must be moved to OUT position when putting in and removing PE cell to avoid accidentally bumping the collimator.
