Introduction
DISTO online
DISTO online is a program, which enables you to operate any Leica DISTO at
any serial interface on your computer running under Microsoft Windows
95/98/ME or Windows NT/2000.
DISTO online supports all Leica DISTO laser range finder with a serial interface
and detects these automatically.
With DISTO online all windows programs and even DOS programs running in
the DOS box of windows can be supplied the measured values of the DISTO.
Further the measured values can be processed later by other programs e.g. by
Microsoft Excel.
With Leica DISTO devices with an internal memory on-line and an off-line
communications are possible.
Installation of the Program
For DISTO online there are 2 installation programs: An installation program for
the "minimum" installation, in which no system files are contained, and an
installation program for the "maximum" installation, in which also all necessary
system files for Microsoft Windows are contained. This distinction was therefore
made, since the very most computers contain the current system files, and it is
not necessary to update them, the installation program for the minimum
installation is therefore much smaller and therefore it is much faster to download
it from the Internet.
You will get DISTO online on
a CD with your DISTO or
you can download it at:

The installation of the program becomes quite simple. Run the program
SetupDisto.exe". All necessary DISTO online files are copied into the directory
" C:\Program Files\Disto". The max. installation updates the Windows system
files then if necessary, thus a restart of the computer becomes necessary. After
installation the program is immediately ready for use.
