Quadrant-Photodiode Manager Application

Overview

The Quadrant-Photodiode Manager Application is a Payload Controller application that processes signals from the Quadrant-Photodiode (QPD) and provides necessary transformations of the data for other applications.

Data Input

  • Read signals from QPD (what is hardware interface?)

  • Convert these signals to a measurement of misalignment

Data Output

  • Output to PAT Application

Data Processing

  • Conversion of signals to a measurement
