An accelerator-based THz source for pump-probe experiments at the European XFEL is under development at the Photo Injector Test Facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ). For the proof-of-principle experiments an LCLS-I undulator is planned to be installed downstream of the PITZ accelerator. The fields of the undulator module 26 have been re-measured at DESY in Hamburg and the results are consistent with earlier SLAC measurements. A model for 3D field reconstruction based on the undulator magnetic measurements has been developed. It includes also a horizontal gradient of the vertical field. Tracking of the 17 MeV/c beam has revealed that the transverse gradient will lead to a significant off-axis trajectory in the horizontal plane. This offset has to be corrected with a steering coil, the design of which is also presented. The performance of the THz generation with the correction coil is discussed as well.
