Where in the controller menus can you find the horizontal angle (HA) / vertical angle (VA) collimation test function?

Accessing the HA/VA collimation test is part of calibrating the instrument. Collimation tests check that the instrument’s optical axis lines up with its mechanical axes, and this kind of alignment task belongs in the adjustment/calibration functions of the controller. Therefore it’s found under the Instrument section, specifically in the Adjust submenu. The other paths are for different purposes: one goes to coordinate geometry tools, another to routine surveying data collection, and another to a general tests suite. Those sections aren’t where you perform the instrument’s alignment adjustments, so they don’t fit for this function.
