Directly after the second measurement, the calculated length is
shown on the display and the
icon stops fl ashing.
The individual values , and the results are shown on the
display .
■ Please note that angular error (no right angles) will lead to incorrect
results. Ensure that the measured distances lie on a plane (align-
ment).
■ To ensure the greatest possible accuracy, you can the calculate
the distance of the leg (shortest distance) by means of continuous
measurement. The minimum determined value is automatically
used for the Pythagoras calculation.
■ The measurement can also be greater than 50 m in length, but
will be shown as a two-digit number.
Double Pythagoras
In this function, Pythagoras' Theorem is applied to two right triangles
that have a common leg.
This makes it possible to calculate the length of the base side of any
triangle. This function calculates the distance between two arbitrary
points and is especially useful for inaccessible measurement points.
♦ Press the
FUNC
button four times. The icon appears on
the display .
♦ Now measure the left hypotenuse (largest distance to the left)
and then one leg (shortest distance to the measurement sur-
face) and fi nally the right hypotenuse (largest distance to the
right) by pressing the
ON
button (see also Chapter Single
measurements).
The corresponding line of the
icon fl ashes for the individual
measurement values.
Directly after the third measurement, the calculated length is shown
on the display and the
icon stops fl ashing.
