  • Align
    • Autoalign
    • Align with image
    • Align with gradients
  • Topography
    • Just using defaults
• Level 2 - Basic user - Basic ability to do SPC's most key functions. Can support operations under direct supervision of a fully-trained SPC user. Can run most key SPC functions, but requires help bridging gaps
