• Even if “inch” is selected in this setting, all the data including the result of area calculation are output in “feet”
and all the distance values must be input in “feet”. In addition, when the “inch” display exceeds the range, it
is displayed in “feet”.
International feet and US survey feet
The iM can display feet values in International feet and US survey feet units.
International feet, the standard feet units, are referred to simply as “feet” elsewhere in this manual.
US survey feet are units used in surveys by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey and are referred to as
“US feet” in this manual.
When “feet” or “inch” is selected in “Dist”, the “Feet” item will appear on the screen as below. When “meter”
is selected, this item will not be displayed.
Results displayed in feet will differ according to the unit selected in this item.
