These representation of angles are often used in [[numerical control]] and [[digital signal processing]] applications, such as robotics, navigation,<ref name=lap2004/> computer games,<ref name=sang1993/> and digital sensors.<ref name=para2005/> On the other hand, this system is not adequate for situations where the number of full turns must be measured, e.g. to monitor the rotation of vehicle wheels or of [[leadscrew]]s.
