Tilt Sensor - Factors Which Influence The Use of Inclinometers

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:

    “The goal of every culture is to decay through over-civilization; the factors of decadence,—luxury, scepticism, weariness and superstition,—are constant. The civilization of one epoch becomes the manure of the next.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    “I became the Incredible Shrinking Mother the year they started junior high. If our relationship today depended on physical clout, I would have about the same influence with them that the republic of Liechtenstein has on world politics.”
    —Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
