The Next Linear Collider (NLC) is proposed to study
e+-e--collisions in the TeV energy region. The small beam spot size
at the interaction point of the NLC makes its luminosity sensitive to
beam jitter. A mechanism for aligning the beams to each other which acts
during the bunch-train crossing time has been proposed to maintain
luminosity in the presence of pulse-pulse beam jitter. We describe a
beam-beam deflection feedback system which responds quickly enough to
correct beam misalignments within the 265 ns long crossing time. The
components of this system allow for a novel beam diagnostic, beam-beam
deflection scans acquired in a single machine pulse.
