 The Applesauce client software has a tool to help you with testing and the installation of sync sensors. Under the Drive menu, you can find the Sync Sensor Assistant. To use this, you will need to have your Applesauce plugged into your computer and your sync sensor connected to your Applesauce. The Beeper will emit a tone whenever it detects a magnet within sensor range, which is a few millimeters. This comes in very handy when installing your sensor as you can rotate the spindle back and forth to make sure that it is picking up the magnet consistently. After you have your drive closed back up after installation, you can run the Stability Validator that will run a longer test to make sure that it is working well. The Applesauce client software has a tool to help you with testing and the installation of sync sensors.
