How to Read Changes in Orientation?

Hello all. I'm a first timer here and am looking forward to building with my MetaMotionR board!

I'm trying detect when the board rotates outside of a set range (e.g. +-15 degrees) in one direction (Yaw) however I don't really know how to do this.

I assume I should use Sensor Fusion to combine accelerometer and Gyro but I tested all 4 modes and 4 Output types with the same physical test but cannot make any sense of the csv data and don't know what I'm looking at/for (there were no headers nor documentation I could find on the csv format).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

    Post the CSV data and describe in detail your test methodology.  Also include the code you are running.

    Thanks for the reply Eric.

    I'm just using the MetaWear App for now but I think I figured it out using a new experiment. 

    I put the MetaMotionR on center of a spinning record player (battery side down) then streamed the data until I saw some graphs that made sense... which looks like NDof + Euler.

    When I exported the data I could see that it was Columns D and E (duplicate) that changed form 0 to 360... so that's it.. yee haw for my "yaw"! ;)

    Now I move on to the coding and figuring out how to read this on my app
