Alignment Wizard

The alignment wizard is a graphical tool that shows you in real time what
adjustments need to be made. You bring up the alignment wizard by clicking the
Alignment Wizard button on the Align tab. It shows which particular
adjustments need to be made based on which ones are most out of adjustment.
If Auto Select Angular Or Concentric is checked,
the wizard will automatically switch to show which
adjustment is most out of alignment. If this is not
checked, you can switch back and forth using the Go
To Concentric and Go to Angular buttons. In either
case, the Tighten and Loosen arrows will always
show which adjustment is most out of alignment.
If Play Audio For Screw To Tighten is checked, a
synthesized voice will tell you which screw should be
tightened.
The entry in the Samples To Wait Between Stop
And Next Instruction field specifies the number of
samples the software will wait once the symbol has crossed (green crosses zero or red crosses blue)
before determining the next adjustment instruction to tighten/loosen the appropriate setscrew. This is
useful because the bending strain often springs back once the wrench is removed, so the wait allows
the bending strain to settle such that the worst misalignment component can be properly determined.
The entry in the Points in History Trail field is the same as the similar entry on the Options tab; see
on page 72. The number of history trailing points can be edited either here or
on the Options tab.
Clicking the Close button will close the Alignment Wizard.
