Extended Measurement Information 
 
The SMART key can be used to show extended information about a measurement. Repeated 
key presses cycle through the following parts. After the last part, the display returns to the 
standard contents. 
 
Normal Measurements: 
1) Azimuth, horizontal distance, vertical distance, total distance. 
2) Roll angle and dip angle (inclination of the magnetic field). 
3) Magnitude of the magnetic field and the acceleration/gravity. 
4) Raw sensor values (x,y,z) of the on board acceleration sensor. *) 
5) Raw sensor values (x,y,z) of the separate acceleration sensor. *) 
6) Raw sensor values (x,y,z) of the magnetic field sensor. *) 
 
Calibration Measurements: 
1) Combined acceleration sensor values (x,y,z). 
2) Magnetic field sensor values (x,y,z). 
3) On board acceleration sensor values (x,y,z). *) 
4) Separate acceleration sensor values (x,y,z). *) 
 
*) These parts are not available when reading from memory. 
 
 
Bluetooth Connection 
 
When Bluetooth is switched on, the device is discoverable and connectable at any time. It 
appears as “DistoX-nnnn” where nnnn is the serial number of the device. It provides a serial 
connection (SPP) named “serial”. The device needs no pairing key. If the connecting device 
request one, it is “0000” (four zeroes). 
 
To read the results from the device, a special program is needed (PocketTopo). This runs 
either on a PC or on a PDA. To Allow the program to connect to the Disto, the Bluetooth port 
must be selected under Menu:Options:Port. The port is listed in the Bluetooth manager as the 
“outgoing serial port” for the device. 
 
When Bluetooth is switched on, a Bluetooth symbol appears at the top of the display. The 
symbol flashes whenever another device is connected. Except when a memory entry is shown, 
the display shows the number of unsent measurements in the top right corner. 
 
It is possible to switch the Laser on or off over Bluetooth and to remotely trigger a 
measurement. The corresponding commands are in the Bluetooth menu. 
 
The Disto does not automatically switch off as long as there is an active Bluetooth 
connection.
