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.
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)
25 a
and then one leg (shortest distance to the measurement
surface)
25 b
and finally the right hypotenuse (largest distance
to the right)
25 c
by pressing the MAES button
16
(fig. F).
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“ triangle icon stop flashing. The in-
dividual measured values will be shown on the top 3 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).
