    Measures slope distance, inclination & azimuth, and calculates horizontal distance, vertical distance, height, and missing line values. The TruPulse 360i offers higher levels of distance, inclination, and azimuth accuracy with Bluetooth wireless communication to any device. Take advantage of Laser Tech's Advanced Targeting Modes (Closest, Farthest, Continuous, and Filter) and TruTargeting technology to know exactly what accuracy level is being achieved.

    6 to 10 seconds depending on Targeting mode. Once the target is acquired or the laser has timed out, you can release the FIRE button. The TruPulse 360i has a broad spectrum of sensitivity and can work with both reflective and non-reflective targets.

  • Page 8: Truvector™ Technology

    The TruPulse 360i produces accurate and repeatable azimuth and inclination results. This is accomplished by combining a 3-axis magnetic sensor with a 3-axis tilt sensor - so the TruPulse 360i always knows its position in 3D space, and the direction of the Earth's magnetic field. TruVector technology allows you the ultimate freedom to “measure any angle.”...
