7. Operation / 8. Applications
7.4.10 Taking measurements to
transparent surfaces
It is not possible to measure distances to
transparent materials, e.g. liquids, foam
polystyrene, etc. This is because light pen-
etrates these materials and therefore meas-
uring errors may occur. If
measurements are taken through glass,
measuring errors may also occur.
7.4.11 Measuring ranges
7.4.11.1 Increased distances
– Taking measurements in the dark, at
dawn, dusk and to shaded targets or
with the front of the range meter shaded,
generally leads to an increase of the
measuring range.
– Taking measurements to the PDA 50 tar-
ge t plate also results in an increase of
the measuring range.
7.4.11.2 Reduced distances
– Taking measurements in very bright
ambient light, e.g. in sunshine or a very
bright spotlight etc, can lead to a reduced
distances.
– Taking measurements through glass or
other objects in the target beam can lead
to a reduced measuring range.
– Taking measurements to matt green, blue
or black, wet or shiny surfaces can lead
to a reduced measuring range.
8. Applications and calculation
functions
The individual steps within all functions are
mostly supported, on principle, by graphics
on the display.
- NOTE -
– Continuous measurement can be used
within all functions where single
measurements are possible.
– If measuring errors occur during
continuous measurement or if
continuous measurement is stopped by
pressing the "Measure" key again, the last
valid distance will be shown.
8.1 Measurement data memory
While measuring, the range meter continu-
ously saves the measured values and the
results of calculations.
8.1.1 Saving measurements
When measuring several distances, up to
three previous distances, are displayed in
the intermediate result lines. This means
that in total the last four measured
distances are displayed or saved.
