Abstract

L'invenzione qui rivelata riguarda un sistema e un metodo di allineamento che forniscono un miglioramento nell'accuratezza della misura delle caratteristiche di allineamento delle ruote di un veicolo, una guida ad un operatore attraverso procedure di regolazione note ma oscure, un'interfaccia tra sensori di allineamento del sistema e il controllore del sistema che fornisce una manipolazione efficiente dei dati generati dal sistema e delle informazioni introdotte nel sistema ed emesse dal sistema, e misurazioni dal vivo con visualizzazione di tutte le quantità di allineamento, di modo che sia possibile osservare le variazioni interdipendenti tra quantità di allineamento regolabili.
