Span Height
Summary
In Span Height mode is used to calculate the vertical height above ground of a point on a span, for
example the mid-span height of a cable or wire.
The user is guided through a series of steps to allow a measurement of the vertical distance between
(for example) a suspended wire and the (reasonably level) ground below.
When performing span height measurements, the use of a MapSight low Magnetic Signature Tripod
is strongly recommended as this will assist in minimizing potential error introduced due to changing
the hand-held height of the MapSight during the measurement.
