Factors Which Influence The Use of Inclinometers
(Overall accuracy varies depending on the type of tilt sensor (or inclinometer) and technology used)
- Gravity
- Temperature (drift), zero offset, linearity, vibration, shock, cross-axis sensitivity, acceleration/deceleration
- A clear line of sight between the user and the measured point is needed.
- A well defined object is required to obtain the maximum precision.
- The angle measurement precision and accuracy is limited to slightly better than one degree of arc.
- The calibration of tilt sensors in the factory may differ on the actual site.

Famous quotes containing the words factors and/or influence:
“Girls tend to attribute their failures to factors such as lack of ability, while boys tend to attribute failure to specific factors, including teachers’ attitudes. Moreover, girls avoid situations in which failure is likely, whereas boys approach such situations as a challenge, indicating that failure differentially affects self-esteem.”
—Michael Lewis (late–20th-century)
“To-day ... when material prosperity and well earned ease and luxury are assured facts from a national standpoint, woman’s work and woman’s influence are needed as never before; needed to bring a heart power into this money getting, dollar-worshipping civilization; needed to bring a moral force into the utilitarian motives and interests of the time; needed to stand for God and Home and Native Land versus gain and greed and grasping selfishness.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
