Minimum / maximum measurement This function allows the user to measure the minimum or maximum distance from a fixed measuring point.It can also be used as to determine spacings. It is commonly used to measure room diagonals ( maximum values ) or horizontal distances ( minimum values ) or the difference of maximum and minimum.
Functions Addition / subtraction Distance measuring. The next measurement is added to the previous one. The next measurement is subtracted from the previous one. This process can be repeated as required, the measurement will be displayed in the summary line while the previous one displayed in the secondary line.
