Summary:The SLOpes Detection And Ranging (SLODAR) method is supplemented with the theory of the measurement of the positions of aberration layers for the case of the use of point reference sources having converging/diverging wavefronts. We determine the dependence of the shift in the correlation peak on the distance to the measured aberration layer, the measurement error, and the maximum measured distance to the layer. Numerical experiments are performed to determine the position of one and several screens under conditions close to experimental ones.
