^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If this is too obvious, forgive me: Align the tensiometer across the thin
dimension of the spoke--that will give you the greatest sensitivity, and
will be the easiest position to achieve consistently. If it is hard to tell
physically when the alignment is perfect, it will be the position which
gives the maximum reading on the tensiometer.
