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 indi-
vidual 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 trian-
gles 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.
1. Press the Function selection button
15
four times. The "Double
Pythagoras" triangle icon of measuring mode indication
symbol
25
appears on the display.
2. Now measure the left hypotenuse (largest distance to the left)
and then one leg (shortest distance to the measurement surface)
and finally the right hypotenuse (largest distance to the right)
by pressing the MAES button
16
. The corresponding line of
the "Double Pythagoras" triangle icon flashes for the individual
measurement values. Right after the third measurement, the
calculated length will be shown on the bottom row
23
of the
display and the corresponding line of the "Double Pythagoras"
