Inclination Measurements
The laser is not active in the Inclination Measurement Mode. Generally, the inclination is
measured when you press
. However, in (1) the Continuous Target Mode and (2) in
the Height Measurement Mode, the inclination reading appears in the Main Display and
the display updates as your aiming point changes as long as you press
.
Percent Slope
Percent slope (indicated by Per) is a calculation equal to 100 times the tangent of the
inclination angle. It is a variant way of expressing the inclination. You can get percent
slopes only in the basic measurement displays, never in the Height measurement displays.
Note also that the instrument never downloads a percent slope. It always downloads the
inclination angle.
 An inclination angle of 5 degrees for example is equal to a slope of
about 8.75 percent.
