  • Page 85: Operation

    Measurements Description The 3D Disto is a combination of a precise laser distance metre (LDM) and angle encoders. Targeting with the visible red laser beam allows measurement of the distance between the 3D Disto and the target and of horizontal and vertical direc- tions toward the target.

  • Page 86: Viewfinder

    Viewfinder Description The 3D Disto has an integrated camera. It is accessible by and it shows the camera image directly on the Control Unit display. The crosshairs in the Viewfinder image allow precise targeting and measuring even if the laser beam is not visible, for example over long distances or because of bright backlight conditions.
  • Page 87 3D Disto, Operation Example of a Viewfinder screen, first and second Toolbar shown:...
  • Page 88 A lock symbol on a key indicates the lock mode. 2. Targeting: There are different options to target a measurement point: • Press the arrow keys on the screen for targeting, hold for fast 3D Disto turns and short taps for single step turns.
