Scientific paper

This document gives an overview of the pointing model (PM) at the IRAM 30 m Telescope and the parameters used in its determination. We describe recent improvements achieved by the installation of an inclinometer to measure the tilt of the azimuth axis. The use of the inclinometer allows to determine two of the PM parameters in a reliable way. As a consequence, the pointing observations can be carried out faster, and the PM can be partly updated, if necessary, independently of astronomical observations.
