Tilt measurement
The tilt sensors in the Leica DISTOs™ can measure inclina-
tions up to ± 45°, or even have a measurement range of
360°. This means you can measure inclinations over your
head. This is particularly interesting for people who wish to
determine roof slopes.
Smart Horizontal Mode™
The desired horizontal distance is determined using the
tilt measurement, even if the object cannot be directly
targeted horizontally. This function is very helpful, e.g. if
walls, hedges or people are between the instrument and
the target.
Height tracking
You can determine the heights of buildings or trees that
have no suitable reflective points using the height tracking
function. Target with the digital pointfinder on the bottom
point of the height to be measured and take a measure-
ment. Then target with the laser on the top point of the
object. The display then shows the height.
Double tilt measurement
With this function, you can e.g. determine the roof slope of
a house, even from a long distance away. To do this you
take two distance measurements and the Leica DISTO™
determines the tilt at the same time. Additional detailed
information, e.g. the distances and the inclination between
the measured points is also provided.
