the “Simple Pythagoras“ function, it is possible to calculate the
length of one of the legs. This feature is particularly useful for
poorly accessible measurement points.
1. Press the Function selection button
15
three times. The
“Simple Pythagoras“ triangle icon of measuring mode indica-
tion symbol
25
appears on the display.
2. Now measure the hypotenuse (largest distance) and one of the
legs (shortest distance to the measurement surface) by pressing
the MEAS button
16
. The corresponding line of the “Simple
Pythagoras“ icon flashes for the individual measurement values.
Right after the second measurement, the calculated length is
shown on the bottom row
23
of the display and the correspond-
ing line of the “Simple Pythagoras“ icon stop flashing. The in-
dividual measured values will be shown on the top two rows
of the display.
Note:
Please note that angular error (no right angles) will lead to
incorrect results. Ensure that the measured distances lie on a plane
(alignment).
Double Pythagoras
In this function, Pythagoras Theorem is applied to two right triangles
that have a common leg. This makes it possible to calculate the
length of the base side of any triangle. This function calculates the
distance between two arbitrary points and is especially useful for
inaccessible measurement points.
