Continuous Distance Measurement
(Distance Tracking)
This operating mode is ideal for
transferring measurements from
construction plans or blueprints. In practice,
you walk the meter back from a wall a specified distance while
the meter tracks its own position by measuring the distance to
the wall twice per second. As you make these dynamic
measurements and you close in on the specified distance, the
meter takes note of the closest and farthest you have been from
the wall and displays these minimum and maximum distances
along with the final distance.
Before entering continuous distance measurement mode, be
sure to temporarily change the measurement reference from the
rear of the meter to the front (see p. 12). Next, hold the meter
horizontally with its top against the wall shown on a plan. Then,
after making sure that the laser is on, press the
back away from the wall while continuing to point the laser at
