Fogzometer users were do you connect/ get signal to adjust azimuth?

From what I understand, the numbers do not mean anything. They are there for reference only I believe, essentially the VU meter will show a higher number based on the output of the cartridge.
Theoretically the number should rise slightly once you get the azimuth in its most optimal position as the stylus will then be reading and getting the most info from the groove walls.
Yes, Chris from Musical Surroundings was nice to respond to my query and explain it. I did know it couldn't be dB as some of the numbers go higher than the carts channel separation figures!
 
What the cartridge specs state is not the truth or any absolute value.
I can get close to -40db crosstalk on A cartridge specen for -30..and -34 on one speced to -20. See below.
The result depends A lot on the record used, and the alignment of the cartridge, Analog Production Ultimate Test record is good and gives me very nice numbers mostly better than -34, and no cartridge I have has a spec better than -31.

The spec for this AudioTechnica AT95 is 20db separation, maybe I am just lucky but I get -34 or more on this particular record.( this is not Ultimate record)
