CONTROLSUITE: ALIGN in HVBLDC Sensorless

Part Number: CONTROLSUITE

Dear team,

There is the following code in  HVBLDC sensorless:

// Initial Rotor Alignment Process
if (AlignFlag != 0)
{
    mod1.Counter = 0;
    pwm1.CmtnPointer = 0;
    BLDCPWM_MACRO(1,2,3,pwm1)
    if (VirtualTimer > 0x7FFE)
    {

        if (LoopCount != LOOP_CNT_MAX)
        LoopCount++;
    else
    {
        AlignFlag = 0;
        VirtualTimer = 0;
        VirtualTimer++;
        VirtualTimer &= 0x00007FFF;
    }
}

So what is the purpose of Align? Is it to fix the rotor to a certain commutation position so that it is easier to drag when dragging in an open loop?
