HEIGHT MEASUREMENT USING
PYTHAGOREAN METHOD
See Figure 9.
The laser distance measurer uses the Pythagorean method
(a
2
+ b
2
= c
2
) to calculate heights that are otherwise difficult
to access.
Height - Pythagorean method
These instructions must be followed exactly for best re-
sults.
All target points must be vertical or horizontal surfaces.
Measurements should be taken from a fixed point (for
example, placed against a wall).
From the icon menu, select the triangle icon.
The dotted line indicating the base (
a
) will begin flashing.
Position the device for a horizontal measurement, which
will be calculated from the bottom of the device.
Tap the
Laser
button. The measurement will be displayed
on the screen.
Tap the large button. The distance measured will be
identified (
Base of triangle
).
Angle the device to take a second measurement from the
same orientation as the base measurement.
The dotted line indicating the hypotenuse (
b
) will begin
flashing.
Tap the large button. The distance measured will be
identified (
Hypotenuse of triangle
).
The measurement for height (
c
) will be displayed on the
screen.
