The target XD location is assumed to be the median position (NUV) or mean position (FUV) of the collapsed spectrum. ... If the target is centered in the aperture, but the Y walk shifts its spectrum in the XD direction, then the ACQ/PEAKXD algorithm will miscalculate its centroid and move the target away from the aperture center. ...
