    (Absolute tilt) is the tilt between the horizontal plane and the sensor’s plane. When upside down, the Abs tilt is varying around 180 degree. This is different from the Aanderaa RDCP (previous profiler generation). The new profiler is able to sense if it is upside down or not, and the absolute tilt indicates the actual direction of the sensor when it is running.
