Abstract
Taught herein are portable digital horizontal inclinometers which utilize magnetic field to dampen the free swing of the pendulum. The inclinometers feature simple structure, small size, high sensitivity, good linearity, high precision, and strong anti-jamming capability. They are also easy to manufacture and provide fast and accurate reading over a wide range of inclination angles of up to 360°.
