need to reduce the Resolution Distance; to reduce the resolution, you need to increase the
Resolution Distance.
You can see from this equation that:
To increase the resolution, that is, to reduce the Resolution Distance:
• you can increase the number of points, or
• you can reduce the measured distance.
To reduce the resolution, that is, to increase the Resolution Distance, you can
• you can reduce the number of points, or
• you can increase the measured distance.
