6. BEST MEASURING TECHNIQUE
Laser range finder measures distance by catching laser beam
reflected from the target. Everything that improves reflection
increases the measurement reliability and maximum range.
1.
Use tripod when ranging remote targets. The longer is the
distance, the greater is the beam shift due to hand tremor.
2.
Aim at a bright smooth surface on the target that is the
closest to perpendicular to the laser beam. The closer to
perpendicular you get – the stronger will be the reflection.
3.
The unit deploys sophisticated software that tries to
understand which target you are aiming at. However, due to
beam divergence several objects may produce a strong
reflection. To help the System recognise the target the
Target Selection Logic
may be used. For example, if ranging
a wire in front of a building, selecting the “first” target
(Code 12) will produce a more reliable result. Alternatively,
when aiming at a chimney behind the trees, selecting “last”
target (Code 11) will be better. By default the System
assumes “auto” target selection choosing the object that
produces most reflections at maximum distance.
