Here you can alter the map position and the sensor placements.
To place a sensor on the map, simply drag the sensor from the sensor list onto the map. If the sensor is already in the map, you may move it again by clicking and dragging directly on the instrument icon inside the map.
Click on the sensor inside the map to get a menu:
