The Encoding Tripods work with an Advantage, Profiler or Accident Investigation system to provide very precise positional data. The Encoding Tripods are high resolution counters that can operate specifically for vertical or horizontal uses or for dual purposes. The encoding tripod’s measurement accuracy is exponentially valuable over long distances, letting operators stay in one place longer.

Vertical Encoding tripod improvements over inclinometer:
Inclinometer accuracy: +/- 0.4 degrees	Encoder accuracy: +/- 0.08 degrees
Horizontal Encoding tripod improvements over inclinometer:
Compass range: 0 to 359.9 degrees	Encoder range: 0 to 359.95 degrees
Compass accuracy: +/- 1 degree RMS	Encoder accuracy: +/- 0.1 degree RMS from level
Relative to magnetic North	Immune to magnetic or electronic interference
