During the OSAP procedure, should the goggle be in focus or out of focus?

During the OSAP (Operational System Adaptation Procedure) procedure, the goggles should be out of focus to allow for the calibration and adjustment of the device. Keeping the goggles slightly out of focus is essential as it helps ensure that the user can detect any anomalies or issues with the night vision technology during the adaptation process. This slight blur allows the operator to adjust the focus subsequently and ensures that the device operates optimally at the desired range.

This practice helps to identify and correct any imperfections in the image generation system, enhancing the overall performance of the night vision goggles. The operator can fine-tune the focus afterward once the system is better adapted to the environment in which it will be used. By first establishing this blurry setting, it fosters a more thorough evaluation of the goggle's performance before final adjustments are made for operational use.
