Distance and Inclination Measurements Workflow
Inclination Percent Slope
Percent slope, indicated by the % indicator, is a calculation equal to 100 times the tangent of the inclination angle.
It is a variant way of expressing the inclination. You can get percent slopes only in the basic measurement displays,
never in the Height measurement displays. Note also that the instrument never downloads a percent slope. It always
downloads the inclination angle.
NOTE An inclination angle of 5 degrees for example is equal to a slope of about 8.7 percent.
