Measurement Modes

 

Using a laser sensor and optional tilt sensor, the Impulse can take six different types of measurements:

 

Indicat

or 

Function Explanation 

HT 

Height 

(Impulse 200 only) Measures the height of an object 

HD 

Horizontal Distance  (Impulse 200 only) Measures the level distance between the Impulse 

and the plane of the target object 

VD 

Vertical Distance 

(Impulse 200 only) Measures the distance between a target object and 
the perpendicular to the path of the horizontal distance 

SD 

Slope Distance 

Measures the straight-line distance between the Impulse and a target 
object 

INC 

Inclination 

(Impulse 200 only) Measures the angle of inclination between the 
Impulse at level, and the target 

MULTI Multiple 

Measurements 

Allows the Impulse to take more than one measurement in succession 

CUM - maintains a cumulative distance measurement for a succession 
of targets 

DIFF - calculates the differences between a base distance and a 
succession of targets
