4.3. Distance measurement
1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the
key
or the side MEAS key to activate the laser pointer
2. Use the laser pointer to precisely determine the
measuring point, keeping the instrument as
perpendicular as possible with respect to the
surface of the object to be measured
3. Press the
key or the side MEAS key again to
measure. The value will be displayed in the
selected measuring unit (see § 4.1) and the result
will be automatically saved in the memory area.
4.4. Continuous distance measurement
Upon start-up, the instrument is set to normal mode or
measuring the distance between 2 points. Continuous
measuring mode allows for a dynamic management of
the distance and the display of the maximum and
minimum measurement values.
1. With the instrument in stand-by, press the
key
to select the desired type of reference (see § 4.2)
2. Press and hold the
key to activate the
continuous measuring mode. The indications “Min”
and “Max” are shown on partial displays
3. Press the
or OFF/CLR key to stop continuous
measurement. The function is automatically
stopped after approx. 50s
4. The minimum and maximum value of distance are
shown in the partial displays while continuous
measurement is shown dynamically when moving
the instrument (see Fig. 5) on the resulting display

5. Press the
key to exit the continuous measuring
mode and go back
to normal mode
