Checking sensor alignment

Be sure traffic is flowing freely on the road in order to get this
1
tool to work best.
If you don't see the alignment arrow, click the magnifying glass
2
icon to open the View menu, then select Show Alignment.
If you don't see the alignment sidebars, click the >> button on
3
either side of the screen until the number 1 is displayed.
Watch the arrows to see where the sensor's alignment is at.
4
Move the sensor manually to fix it. Give the software a few
5
moments after each sensor movement to adjust; a few vehicles
need to pass by before it can report on the new alignment.
If you'd like, hide the arrow again using the View menu.

Troubleshooting the alignment tool
The software needs a few vehicles to pass before it can start
˿
getting a read on the alignment. If you're having trouble, there
might not be enough traffic on the road; wait until more vehicles
have passed, or get in your own vehicle and drive in front of the
sensor a few times.
