Paragraph Number

102

The measurement circuit 330 is a circuit or device or module that measures a change in orientation of the shaft 210 (or surgical device 200) in relation to a reference axis. In one embodiment, the reference axis is an axis such as the reference axis 130 described in relation to FIG. 1. In another embodiment, the reference axis may be an axis determined by another circuit, sensor, or component of the surgical device 200. Alternatively, or in addition, the reference axis may be and stored in a storage media of the surgical device 200 for subsequent use. For example, the reference axis may be predetermined during fabrication, during operating room preparations, or another time before the surgical device 200 is used for a procedure. The data and/or value used to define and represent the reference axis may be stored in a storage media that can be included in the surgical device 200.
