Dr. Dripta B. and I went to EX today to do a PCAL End Station measurement with PS4 using the T1500062 ES Power Sensor RR Meas : Procedures & Log.
I took a picture of the beam spots before we started, and after we were done.
We ran Miriam's fantastic shell tool & left her some feed back written in the margins of the 2.2 section of the T1500062 Proc & Log document linked above.
We tried to run the measurement right at the end station but we didn't know that NDS servers were having a problem this week.
I eventually changed the server to be h1daqnds1 port 8088 to get the data instead.
Command Ran:
python generate_measurement_data.py --WS PS4 --date 2025-11-03
Reading in config file from python file in scripts
../../../Common/O4PSparams.yaml
PS4 rho, kappa, u_rel on 2025-11-03 corrected to ES temperature 299.5 K :
