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 economic dependence of woman and her apparently indestructible illusion that marriage will release her from loneliness and work and worry are potent factors in immunizing her from common sense in dealing with men at work.”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    “I am always glad to think that my education was, for the most part, informal, and had not the slightest reference to a future business career. It left me free and untrammeled to approach my business problems without the limiting influence of specific training.”
    —Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
