Electronic Measurement in the Horizontal Jumps – Mark Heckel – 2010 - Page 6
With the spotting laser still on the check mark, press the
On/Dist
key. The
measurement from the end of the measuring device nearest the scratch
line to the spotting laser will appear. (For example, the distance may
appear as 3.500m). Since the marker rod is at 4.50m, we need to set the
offset to 1.000m.
Repeat the process of accessing the
Offset
menu.
This time, use the
+
and
–
keys to set the offset at 1.000m.
Press the
=
key to confirm the offset and lock it in.
Without moving the spotting laser, press the
On/Dist
key to take another
measurement. The new distance on the screen should now read
approximately 4.500m. Remember that the last digit to the right is ignored
when reading the measurement. A reading of 4.508m would be 4.50m.
