Installation of QPDs and Preliminary Readout Test at Pcal-X
Two PDQ80A QPDs were installed in the Pcal-X Rx module and connected to the existing PcalRx readout system.
As a preliminary check, DC offsets were applied to the ETMX pitch and yaw setpoints. Corresponding changes were observed in the QPD signals. The response was more visible in the Y channel, while the X channel response was less clear in the time-series data.
Representative spectra and time-series data are attached.

I intentionally changed the Pcal-X beam position by moving the pico motors and checked the response in the QPD signals.
(ETMX was in the LOCK_ACQUISITION state during this work.)

TCam images were taken before and after the pico-motor movement.

A detailed analysis of the QPD response will be performed later.
