No. An inclinometer only measures vertical angle with respect to gravity. A theodolite adds measurement of horizontal angle to that measurement.

A theodolite is an instrument that is used in archaeoastronomy. To change the face for taking angle measurements when using a theodolite you must turn the telescope by 180 degrees.
Face left observation(In theodolite survey):If the face of the vertical circle is to the left of the observer, the observation of the angle is known as Face left observationFace Right observation(In theodolite survey):If the face of the vertical circle is to te right of the observer, the observation of the angle is known as Face right observation
It is read off the azimuth scale, possibly magnified with a so-called microscope. say, 32 degrees, ll minutes. finer degrees of reading-out are possible with some types. This type of theodolite operation is not too different in principle than taking bearings on objects with a magnetic compass, and reading off the direction in degrees.
the answer is homologous
Same shapes, probably.
