Abstract
A sensor mounted on a frame measures inclination of a sensitivity axis above two contact points on a surface on which the frame is positioned. The signal output of the sensor is converted to digital elevation readings of opposite polarity displayed through windows on opposite sides of a handle through which the frame is rotated about alternate contact points into measurement positions along a measurement line marked on the surface.
