8. Applications

8.7.2 Minimum measurement

The minimum measurement is taken in the
continuous measurement mode which
updates the display every time the 
measured distance decreases.

1.  After starting the "Min / Max" function,

the laser beam will be switched on.

2.  Aim the range meter towards the target.
3.  Press the "Measure" key.
4.  After this, continuous measurement 

will start.

5.  The distance shown in the "MIN" display

field will update every time the distance
decreases below the last value 
displayed.

6.  The distance shown in the "MAX" display

field will update every time the distance
increases above the last value 
displayed. 

7.  Stop measuring by pressing the

"Measure" key.

The display then shows values for the 
Max distance, Min distance and difference
between the two values.

8.7.3 Combined measurement

The combination of simultaneous display
of maximum and minimum distances 
permits the calculation of offsets, 
differences in distances very simply, 
quickly and reliably. As a result, how much
the offset between a pipe and a ceiling or
the offset of two objects in general, can be
determined reliably even if they are in 
inaccessible places.

1.  After starting the "Min / Max" function,

the laser beam will switch on.

2.  Aim the range meter towards the target.
3.  Press the "Measure" key.
4.  After this, continuous measurement 

will start.

5.  Move the range meter so that the 

longest and the shortest distances 
are measured.

6.  The difference between the two 

distances is shown in the line

In the given example, the difference in dis-
tance between ceiling and underside pipe
can be read straight off the display.
