1. Inclinometer

   An inclinometer or clinometer is an instrument used for measuring angles of slope, elevation, or depression of an object with respect to gravity's direction. It is also known as a tilt indicator, tilt sensor, tilt meter, slope alert, slope gauge, gradient meter, gradiometer, level gauge, level meter, declinometer, and pitch & roll indicator. Clinometers measure both inclines and declines using three different units of measure: degrees, percentage points, and topos. The astrolabe is an example of an inclinometer that was used for celestial navigation and location of astronomical objects from ancient times to the Renaissance. A tilt sensor can measure the tilting in often two axes of a reference plane in two axes. In contrast, a full motion would use at least three axes and often additional sensors. One way to measure tilt angle with reference to the earth's ground plane, is to use an accelerometer. Typical applications can be found in the industry and in game controllers. In aircraft, the "ball" in turn coordinators or turn and bank indicators is sometimes referred to as an inclinometer.

1. inclinometer

   An inclinometer, also known as a clinometer, is a tool that is used to measure the angle of a slope, the tilt, inclination, or depression of an object with respect to gravity. It's commonly used in various industries and scientific fields such as geology, civil engineering, and transportation to determine angles of slope, elevations, or depressions. Some also use it for adjusting an antenna to a perfect inclination to receive better signals.
