1. A meter electronics (20) for detecting an orientation and compensating a measurement based on the detected orientation, the meter electronics (20) comprising:
an interface (401) configured to communicatively couple to a sensor assembly (10) containing a material; and
a processing system (402) configured to detect an orientation of the sensor assembly (10) based on a mode relationship between two or more vibration modes as observed in one or more sensor signals provided by the sensor assembly (10).
