ABSTRACT:
An inclinometer for producing high resolution signals of inclination relative to various references and which is capable of displaying inclination angles in various modes. High resolution data signals are produced through the use of a digital encoding wheel which is suspended in equilibrium in a fluid to substantially eliminate frictional forces. A microprocessor, or state logic machine is used to analyze and process the data to provide various displays of inclination including an audible output.
