+         Because it includes an accelerometer, TeleMetrum is
+         sensitive to the orientation of the board. By default, it
+         expects the antenna end to point forward. This parameter
+         allows that default to be changed, permitting the board to
+         be mounted with the antenna pointing aft instead.
