Verifying BBSS movement (OSEM and EUL)

Betsy, Arnaud, Jeff, Oli

Physical movements made in L, T, and V match up with movement read out in EUL basis channels and OSEM basis channels.

Last wednesday (06/24/2026), after we did some checks at the QOSEM sat amp (90758), Betsy and Arnaud went into BSC2 to make some physical movements on the BS so we could check that our channels were displaying movement in the correct directions.

Three physical movements were made:

L
- Pushing in -L direction
- OSEM2EUL matrix says that F2 and F3 are in same direction as L movement (+)
- Push happened at 2026/06/24 22:42:37 UTC and lasted about 30 seconds

  L [um] F2 [cts] F3 [cts]
Before Push 84.3 12933.1 8629.5
During Push -179.2 -2860.8 -1732.5
Direction - - -
Correct Direction? YES YES YES
