Steps
Step counts are accumulated on a per-epoch basis and are based on accelerometer data collected on
the vertical axis. An algorithm present in the device firmware filters out the accelerometer’s baseline
noise level to help accurately accumulate the steps-per-epoch.

Inclinometer
The inclinometer feature can help users identify the orientation of the device and, more importantly,
when the device itself was taken off. Each epoch is flagged with a number (1 through 4) to indicate the
orientation of the device during that epoch. For wGT3X-BT devices, this is done within the ActiLife
software when converting the *.gt3x file to *.agd format. As noted, the inclinometer feature is only
valid when the device is worn vertically on the point of the hip. More details are available in the
