Now go back to the 'Data' tab. Read and record the new sensor
orientation angles. Azimuth (AZ2), Elevation (EL2), and Roll

To complete the configuration, click on the 'Settings' tab, and enter
as 'Angle Align' settings the values you just recorded in Step12:
Angle Align: AZ2 EL2 RL2

If the alignment procedure was successful, here's what you'll notice:

the orientation of your object relative to your desired reference
frame.
b.
If the object has not moved (from position in step 11), these
angles will be close to '0.0'.
