Turning On The Gates - Laser Technology IMPULSE LR User Manual

ARGETING
In essence, the gate window artificially extends the
instrument's minimum range and restricts its
maximum range. One of the uses of the gate
window is to help you make certain you are getting
the right target when objects near you or just
beyond your intended target present a danger of
giving you false readings.
You needn't set both gates. If you set only the short
gate, for example, the gate window extends from
the short gate value to the maximum range of the
instrument.
The gate window is restricted to a width of 1.5
meters (5 feet). If you set the gate window too
narrow, the instrument automatically adjusts it by
resetting either the short or long gate, taking the
most recent value entered as the standard to
recalculate the other by. So if the short gate

is already set at 10 feet, for example, and then you
set the long gate to 12 feet, the instrument resets
the short gate to 7 feet.
A maximum value of 610 meters (2000 feet) for the
short gate, and 612 meters (2005 feet) for the long
gate may be entered.
You can set a gate by shooting to a target or by
editing in a value. The procedure:
