273 – Use BioNomadix Accelerometer as Tilt Sensor or Inclinometer

Tilt angle or inclination sensing uses measurements of gravity, and its trigonometric projection on the axes of a tri-axial accelerometer, to determine tilt angle in all three spatial dimensions (X, Y and Z).

This application note explains the formulas and AcqKnowledge software setup required to use the wireless BioNomadix Accelerometer (BN-ACCL3) as a tilt sensor or inclinometer.

Associated Applications

• Exercise Physiology - Examine ventilation, oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide production, biopotentials, temp., and biomechanical signals simultaneously. Record wirelessly with BioNomadix.
• Biomechanics - Use BIOPAC equipment for gait analysis, goniometry, ergonomics evaluation, range of motion, EMG, Remote Monitoring or to interface with third-party equipment.
