To make clear the impact of the parameterized resolution, here is another example for writing the same
offset value (5°) but with another selected resolution of the inclination sensor (0.01°).

The offset is saved non-volatile in the EEPROM that provides at least 1 million writing cycles. However, by
frequent preset setting operations induced by software or incidents the service life might be at its end
rather quickly inspite of this very high number of writing cycles. At this point we recommend a certain
carefulness in editing the control software.
