Thanks.

The GTS is a Hall Effect gear tooth sensor. It senses "ticks" when a gear tooth passes near to the sensor. The size of the gear onto which the sensor is mounted, the gear ratio between that gear and the wheel and the diameter of the wheel are all specific to your design.
As to angle: If you have mounted the GTS next to a 60 tooth gear, the angular resolution is 6 degrees per tick.
