Pythagoras measurement
•
To calculate the unilateral distance of a triangle pythagorean mode
can be used. When taking measurements of the triangle, ensure the
length of the right side is shorter than the length of the hypotenuse.
If not, the instrument will display an error signal.
•
To ensure the accuracy of measurement, take measurements from
the same starting point of the first order hypotenuse. Then follow
with the measurement of the right side. Please follow the instructions
according to the method required. (See Figs.5-8 to determine the
appropriate method).
1. Calculate the side of a right angle triangle (Fig.7)
Press the
area / volume / pythagoras
button three times to enter
pythagorean mode. Follow the instructions displayed on the screen as follows:
•
Press the read button to measure the length (a) of the hypotenuse.
•
Press the read button to measure the length (b) of the rectangular side.
•
Length (x) will be calculated automatically with results shown on the
display screen.
