Display in normal mode

See drawing {

F.1

}.

The graphics screen of the measurement window is split into different 
areas. Top left is the brightest field, which contains the currently selected 
measuring program. Just to the right appears the program submenu, which 
shows the measuring programs that can be selected by pressing the same 
key the required number of times.

The measurement field contains the individual measurements of the 
measuring program with reference to a series of separate distance measu-
rements. Three lines are provided for this. A horizontal line separates the 

measurement field and the result bar from one another. A red triangle indi-
cates whether the selected measuring program has a detailed display avai-
lable.

Display in "digital pointfinder" mode

Digital pointfinder (4x zoom)

The device has an integral digital pointfinder, which shows the target 
directly on the display. The displayed crosshairs allow precise measure-
ments to be made even though the laser beam is not visible. See drawing 
{

F.2

}

The integral coloured digital pointfinder is a great help outdoors and can 
be used in every function. Longer distances and precise measurements on 
detailed surfaces can even be accomplished in bright sunlight without any 
problem.

The 4x zoom allows the image to be magnified to suit the user's require-
ments.

Press the 

 key to activate the function. Press the 

 key again to 

operate in a 1x, 2x or up to 4x zoom view.

The brightness of the camera can be adjusted through 5 levels using the
