4.8. Indirect 2-point measurement
Indirect measurement allows precisely evaluating a
distance between two points on a vertical wall (height)
exploiting the mathematical principle of the
Pythagorean theorem. For accurate measures we
recommend using a tripod.
1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the
key
to select the desired type of reference (see § 4.2)
2. Press the
key to enter the indirect 2-point
measuring section. The symbol “
“ appears on the
display with side “1” flashing
3. Position the instrument in the highest point (1) of
measurement (see Fig. 7) and press the
key to
measure. The result appears on the first partial
display. The symbol “
“ appears on the display
with side “2” flashing
4. Position the instrument as horizontally as possible
(2) (see Fig. 7) and press the
key to measure.
The result appears on the second partial display
5. The final value of the result (obtained as
2

6. Measuring result is automatically saved in the
instrument's memory
