The graphics screen of the measurement window is split into different
areas. Top left is the brightest field, which contains the currently selected
measuring program. Just to the right appears the program submenu, which
shows the measuring programs that can be selected by pressing the same
key the required number of times.
The measurement field contains the individual measurements of the
measuring program with reference to a series of separate distance measu-
rements. Three lines are provided for this. A horizontal line separates the
measurement field and the result bar from one another. A red triangle
indicates whether the selected measuring program has a detailed display
available.

Digital pointfinder (4x zoom)
The device has an integral digital pointfinder, which shows the target
directly on the display. The displayed crosshairs allow precise measu-
rements to be made even though the laser beam is not visible.
See drawing {F.2}
The integral coloured digital pointfinder is a great help outdoors and can
be used in every function. Longer distances and precise measurements on
detailed surfaces can even be accomplished in bright sunlight without any
problem.
The 4x zoom allows the image to be magnified to suit the user's requi-
rements.
Press the key to activate the zoom function. Press the key again
to operate in a 1x, 2x or up to 4x zoom view.
The brightness of the viewfinder can be adjusted through 5 levels using the
key or the key.
)
Parallax errors occur when the digital pointfinder is used on close
targets, the laser dot may appear displaced in the crosshair. In this case you
should rely on the actual laser dot for targeting the object.
