7.10.2 The “Double Pythagoras” method
Follow the symbols in the display. The blinking side of the
triangle indicates the measurement to be taken. When the
3 required distances have been measured, the result is
then calculated and shown in the result line at the bottom
of the display.
1. Press the FNC-button to activate the “Double Py-
thagoras” function.
NOTE When the “Double Pythagoras” function is
activated, the laser beam is already switched on.
2. Aim the tool at the target as indicated by the symbol
in the display.
Press the “Measure” button.
3. The graphic display automatically prompts you to
measure the middle distance.
NOTE Please note that this distance is measured in
continuous measuring mode in order to ensure that
the shortest distance to the target (at right angles) is
measured reliably.
4. Sweep the laser spot slowly over the target at the
point where the distance is shortest and then stop
measuring by pressing the “Measure” button.
After the last distance has been measured, the
tool immediately calculates the opposite “indirect
distance”.
The system checks whether the geometric relation-
ship allows a result to be calculated. An invalid
result, due to inappropriate geometry, is indicated
by the result line blinking (broken line). In this case,
one or more of the distances must be remeasured.
7.10.3 The “Combined Pythagoras” method
Follow the symbols in the display. The blinking side of the
triangle indicates the measurement to be taken. When the
3 required distances have been measured, the result is
then calculated and shown in the result line at the bottom
of the display.
1. Press the FNC-button to activate the “Combined
Pythagoras” function.
NOTE When the “Combined Pythagoras” function
is activated, the laser beam is already switched on.
2. Aim the tool at the target as indicated by the symbol
in the display.
Press the “Measure” button.
3. The graphic display automatically prompts you to
measure the middle distance.
4. The graphic display prompts you to measure the
last distance.
NOTE Please note that this distance is measured in
continuous measuring mode in order to ensure that
the shortest distance to the target (at right angles) is
measured reliably.
After the last distance has been measured, the
tool immediately calculates the opposite “indirect
distance”.
The system checks whether the geometric relation-
ship allows a result to be calculated. An invalid
result, due to inappropriate geometry, is indicated
by the result line blinking (broken line). In this case,
one or more of the distances must be remeasured.
