1. A vehicle alignment system comprising:

  • sensors for obtaining vehicle alignment data from a vehicle under test;

    a controller operatively connected to the sensors for determining measured vehicle alignment angles from the vehicle alignment data;

    a display for visually displaying representations of the measured vehicle alignment angles to an operator, said display being operatively connected to the controller so that the controller causes the display of representations of a plurality of different measured vehicle alignment angles at one time;

    an input device operable by the operator to select the representation of a desired one of the plurality of different measured vehicle alignment angles being displayed;

    a memory having stored therein, for each selectable vehicle alignment angle, a set of choices of a plurality of different operations associated with that particular selectable vehicle alignment angle;

    said controller being operatively connected to the input device and to the memory such that upon selection of a selectable vehicle alignment angle by the operator, the controller retrieves the set of choices of different operations associated with the selected vehicle alignment angle and causes the display of said set of choices on the display.
