Measuring with tripod – is there anything to consider?
The measuring reference has to be adjusted to the tripod thread. In the Function Screen choose the reference
icon and change the measuring reference to tripod. After switching off the device goes back to the standard
setting (rear of device).
▪
What is measured with the height tracking?
The height tracking displays an indirect height. The combination of inclination and distance measuring to the
wall opens the possibility for such an indirect calculation. It is a useful function if the height cannot be
measured directly or if several height points on the same vertical line need to be measured.
▪
What does ISO 16331-1 tested mean?
When products and services meet our expectations, we tend to take this for granted and be unaware of the
role of standards. However, when standards are absent, we soon notice. We care when products turn out to
be of poor quality or are unreliable or dangerous. An ISO Standard ensures consistent quality and reliability
for a product.
The range and accuracy of laser distance meters depend greatly on lighting conditions and the reflective
properties of the target object. For Leica Geosystems it is important that the performance of the device is
maintained not only in the test laboratory but even more so on everyday site tasks. Therefore we have worked
with external experts to develop a global standard to test and specify laser distance meters and allow
comparisons between devices of different manufacturers. Instruments tested in accordance with ISO 16331-1
achieve their promises. Further information can be found on our website: www.disto.com.
▪
How can I program my favourite (mostly used functions) on the self-programmable keys?
Press the left or right top key for about 2 sec. An overview ("Favourites") with all functions appears on the
display. Choose the preferred function and press then the left or right top key where you want to have the
favourite behind. The favourite is now saved.
