Continuous Measurement (see Fig.
)
The continuous measurement serves for the transfer of dimensions, for
example, from construction plans. With continuous measuring, the instru-
ment can be moved relative to the target with the measured value being
updated approximately every 0.5 s. For example, the user can move
back from a wall until he reaches the desired distance with the actual dis-
tance always being readable.
To set the unit to the continuous measurement mode, press the
button
1
. The symbol
appears in the display.
To initiate the measurement process, press
the measurement button
7
completely down.
Move the measuring instrument until the de-
sired distance value is shown at the bottom of
the display.
By pressing the measure button
7
, the contin-
uous measuring is interrupted. The current
measured value is shown in the display. Again
pressing the measure button
7
starts the con-
tinuous measuring anew.
The continuous measuring switches off automatically after 10 min. The
last measured value remains in the display.
For earlier ending of the continuous measuring, change the measuring
function with one of the function buttons.
