Setting the unit for tilt measurements
The following units can be set for tilt measurements:
Display illumination (
)
The brightness of the display has six levels of adjustment. Step 6 is the
brightest and step 1 is the darkest setting.
Long range Mode (
)
Unfavourable conditions (strong sunlight or a very weak reflective target
surface) may reduce the range of the device, in spite of this the long range
mode allows you to take measurements over longer distances. The use of
a tripod and measurement initiation by pressing the
key are recom-
mended when measurements over 30m are made over longer time periods
in these conditions. (For details see Technical specifications)
)
The settings are reset when the device is switched off.
Measuring with the tripod (
)
The reference point may be adjusted to the tripod mount if the user
requires a measurement from the actual mounting grommit versus the
front or back of the DISTO. To do this select the
symbol in this menu
item. You can switch the reference on the tripod on or off. The setting can
be seen on the display
.
)
We recommend that measurements are initiated using the
key when using the device on a tripod in order to prevent loss of sharp-
ness.
)
The settings are reset when the device is switched off.
Beep (
)
You can switch the beep on or off.
Offset (
)
An offset adds or subtracts a specified value automatically to or from all
measurements. This function allows tolerances to be taken into account
(e.g. unfinished dimensions compared with finished dimensions). If you
selected the Offset function in the menu, you can now adjust the value
using the
or the
key. Pressing the key for longer increases the
rate of change of the values. When you reach the desired offset value,
confirm it with the
key. The display shows the appropriate symbol
or
for as long as the offset value is set.
Digital pointfinder image black / white (
)
The display in pointfinder mode can be changed to black / white.
Level in status field (
)
The Level (in °) in status field can be switched on or off.
