An electron beam entering an accelerator cavity excites higher order modes (HOM). These are radiated to HOM couplers, subsequently damped, and can also be used to facilitate beam monitoring. The modes which deflect the beam transversely are the focus of this study and are used to monitor the beam position. Results are presented on the first analysis of beam alignment based on HOM signals from the third harmonic cavities at FLASH. The electrical center of each mode is ascertained by moving the beam to minimize the HOM signal detected. A single electron bunch per RF pulse is used.
