≤2 times the calibration tilt angle after limited-tilt calibration (2*) | <0.2° rms | |||
Resolution | 0.1° | |||
Repeatability | 0.05° rms | |||
Tilt (Pitch & Roll) | Range | Pitch | ± 90° | |
Roll | ± 180° | |||
Accuracy | Pitch | 0.2° rms | ||
Roll | ≤65° of pitch | 0.2° rms | ||
≤80° of pitch | 0.4° rms | |||

(2*) For example, if the calibration was performed over ±10° of tilt, then the TCM would provide <2° rms accuracy over ±20° of tilt.
