	Photoemission based X-ray Beam Position Monitors (XBPMs) are widely used at 3rd generation light sources to both monitor and stabilise the photon beam to sub-micron precision. Traditionally, finding the geometric scale factors requires either systematic stepper motor movements of the XBPM or well controlled electron beam displacements to measure the response of the XBPM. For each Insertion Device gap it is required to repeat this in order to build up a complete set of scale factors covering all possible operating conditions. Elliptically Polarising Undulators further complicate matters by having multiple operating modes which would require multi dimensional lookup tables. Presented in this paper is a method for retrieving the geometric scale factors of an XBPM in real time by making use of the intrinsic small random movements of the electron beam and finding the correlation in synchronous measurements from Electron BPMs and XBPMs at kHz sample rates.

Photoemission based X-ray Beam Position Monitors (XBPMs) are widely used at 3rd generation light sources to both monitor and stabilise the photon beam to sub-micron precision. Traditionally, finding the geometric scale factors requires either systematic stepper motor movements of the XBPM or well controlled electron beam displacements to measure the response of the XBPM. For each Insertion Device gap it is required to repeat this in order to build up a complete set of scale factors covering all possible operating conditions. Elliptically Polarising Undulators further complicate matters by having multiple operating modes which would require multi dimensional lookup tables. Presented in this paper is a method for retrieving the geometric scale factors of an XBPM in real time by making use of the intrinsic small random movements of the electron beam and finding the correlation in synchronous measurements from Electron BPMs and XBPMs at kHz sample rates.
