AccelerometerReading Structure

[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]

Contains the acceleration and timestamp for an accelerometer reading, indicating the magnitude and direction of forces applied to the device.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Devices.Sensors
Assembly:  Microsoft.Devices.Sensors (in Microsoft.Devices.Sensors.dll)

Syntax

Public Structure AccelerometerReading _
    Implements ISensorReading
public struct AccelerometerReading : ISensorReading

The AccelerometerReading type exposes the following members.

Properties

  Name Description
Acceleration Gets the acceleration vector of the device, in gravitational units.
Timestamp Gets a timestamp indicating the time at which the accelerometer reading was taken. This can be used to correlate readings across sensors and provide additional input to algorithms that process raw sensor data.

Methods

  Name Description
Equals Indicates whether this instance and a specified object are equal. (Inherited from ValueType.)
Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
GetHashCode Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from ValueType.)
GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
ToString Returns the fully qualified type name of this instance. (Inherited from ValueType.)

Remarks

To obtain an AccelerometerReading object, create an Accelerometer object and then use the CurrentValue property or implement a handler for the CurrentValueChanged event.
