    11. DATA COLLECTOR The instrument can communicate directly with a computer through the RS-232c interface. By use of a data collector you can automate data entry, from the collection of survey data to the transfer of the data to a computer. This is useful in saving time and protecting data integrity. For instructions about the connection with a data collector and the handling, please refer to the “Instruction manual”...

    13.6 Distance range Generally speaking, the maximum range which can be measured varies considerably depending on the atmospheric conditions. For this reason, the specifications illustrate the values for both good and normal weather conditions. It is extremely difficult to judge when weather conditions are “Good” and when they are “Normal”.
