Editing Inclinometer (section)

== Inclinometer with [[gyroscope]] ==
As inclinometers measure the angle of an object with respect to the force of gravity, external accelerations like rapid motions, vibrations or shocks will introduce errors in the tilt measurements. To overcome this problem, it is possible to use a gyroscope in addition to an accelerometer. Any of the abovementioned accelerations have a huge impact on the accelerometer, but a limited effect on the measured rotation rates of the gyroscope. An algorithm can combine both signals to get the best value out of each sensor. This way it is possible to separate the actual tilt angle from the errors introduced by external accelerations.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.posital.com/en/products/inclinometers/mems/MEMS-Technology.php|title=MEMS Inclinometer from POSITAL: How do they work?|last=POSITAL|website=Posital|access-date=2017-01-04}}</ref>
