NOTE
Empty plastic pipes and electric cables carrying no
electric power will not be detected.
5.4 Changing the display mode
The display mode can be changed in all scanning
modes. This function changes only the display mode,
not the scanning mode.
To change from the standard display to distance
measurement mode, press the “Left” or “Right” but-
ton for more than 2 seconds. The display mode can
be changed again by pressing one of these buttons.
NOTE
Distance measurement mode can be used to meas-
ure the distance between objects. In the illustration
shown, three equally spaced metal objects have been
detected (see section 6.3.1 “Example showing re-
bars”).
The distance scanned (from the starting point of the
scan) is shown in the display below the approximate
depth of the object, e.g. 20.1 cm (7.9 in), as shown
in the example. The three objects detected, which are
each a distance of 10 cm (3.9 in) apart, are shown as
small rectangles above the scanning mode.
