Chapter II Setup - Preferences
Preferences - Setup
Preferences is used to setup various functions and features
within the Aligner software. Numerous operating attributes
or “preferences” can be altered to suit the operators indi-
vidual tastes. Although the Aligner is shipped with the most
common elements selected as default, an operator is able
to tailor several elements of the alignment process as well
as the display features to customize his machine. Operator
preferences can be altered before the alignment process
begins or any time thereafter.
Preferences Selections:
Preferences is located near the bottom of the Carousel bar.
The Preference icon allows access to the following setup
selections, each identifi ed by an icon:
Security -
Shows the user what features have been installed
on the aligner. Features are purchased and activated by the
sales or service representative using “Key codes”.
System Confi guration - Select the camera system used,
select the wheel clamps used.
Store Name
– allows a store name and address to be en-
tered for the customer printout.
Units of Measure
– selects the units to be displayed for
angle and linear measurements. Once a prescribed unit of
measure has been chosen, all readings and specifi cations
will be stated in those units on all readings screens.
User Login -
This utility is used to control access to the
aligner software and track usage. When login is activated,
only “authorized” users who have been set up with a user
name and password can operate the aligner.
