PCAL EY ES measurement

Dripta & I went down to EY with PS4 to do a standard ES measurement following T1500016-v19. Using the new es-measure script to fetch the GPS times and write them to config.py in real time was simple and worked well. Thank you Miriam for your work on this.

PCAL beams status: 
I took pictures of the Beam spot on the RX sphere before we touched anything. The beam spot looks well centered but enlongated in the vertical
