1. prop blade has a piece of reflective tape attached.
 
2. Sensor for rpm and vibration are mounted to engine case bolt.
 
3. engine is run to desired rpm (2500 or higher)
 
4. Brain box will display angle from tape to worse reading in ips.
 
5. Data can be charted and required weight and location(s) determined.
 
6. Weights (washers and bolts weighed on a very accurate scale) can be attached to starter ring holes (lycoming) or spinner back plate.
