When using an LTI laser range finder with your RD 1000, you should
verify that you have selected the same measurement units in both
instruments. If the RD 1000 and the laser are not using the same
measurement units, the RD 1000 will convert the measurement data
received from the laser. For example, if the RD 1000 is using
Imperial
units
, and the laser is using
Metric units
, the RD 1000 will convert the
measurement data received from the laser to
Imperial units
.
