Default Cartridge alignment

I was wondering if there is any software that you can use along with a analog to digital converter and a good test record to set up your tonearm/cartridge properly?
If not anyone want to make a plugin for Audacity?

Probably this is the type of thing that you are looking for.

I have not found a freeware environment with similar tools

That looks great, but out of my budget. I have a Hi-Fi News test record already so I'll just experiment with available software and see what I can do with it.

Please let me know when you have build a smart interface with for instance audacity.

It is out of my budget range as well.
