==Accuracy== Certain highly sensitive electronic inclinometer sensors can achieve an output resolution to 0.0001°; depending on the technology and angle range, it may be limited to 0.001°. An inclinometer sensor's true or absolute accuracy (which is the combined total error), however, is a combination of initial sets of sensor zero offset and sensitivity, sensor linearity, [[hysteresis]], repeatability, and the temperature drifts of zero and sensitivity—electronic inclinometers accuracy can typically range from ±0.01–2° depending on the sensor and situation. Typically in room ambient conditions the accuracy is limited to the sensor linearity specification. <gallery class="center"> File:Blériot Monoplane Inclinometer.jpg|Blériot Monoplane Inclinometer File:InclinometerMeteor.jpg|Nautical wall inclinometer File:Clinometerlow.jpg|Simple clinometer File:Digital protractor.jpg|Digital protractor File:Vickers Clino R.JPG|Clinometer designed to enable [[indirect fire]] capability with a [[Vickers machine gun]] circa 1918 File:Breithaupt Kassel 25704-271300.01.0 clinometer DSC03651.JPG|Mechanical spirit level clinometer with micrometer adjustment </gallery>
