1. General

The XZ Angle sensor determines its current orientation following the measurement of the angle relative to the X, Y and
Z axis. This sensor facilitates applications such as detecting the position of a door or valve, or detecting the transition
between orientations of a display (for example portrait to landscape). This document provides explanation of the available
functionalities and instructions on how to install and integrate the sensor into your digital signage installation.
The information in this document is created for users who are familiar with the Nexmosphere API and are able to control a
basic setup with a Nexmosphere API controller. If this is not the case yet, please read the general documentation on the
Nexmosphere serial API first.

2. Product overview

The XZ Angle sensor is available in 1 model:
Angle measurement
Configurable orientation positions
The XZ Angle sensor continually measures its orientation angle. This angle is measured in three dimensions; it measures
the angle relative to the X, Y and Z axis. In this way, the exact orientation of an object or surface can be derived. The sensor
determines each of the three values relative to the gravity line(s). In the images below, these gravity lines are depicted in
red and the sensor's orientation line and the angle are depicted in blue. Furthermore, these images also visualize the three
different angles that are continually measured by the sensor.
