Gating mode
In this mode gating function is activated: here user can set the minimal distance to the target, any object closer than the gating distance will be ignored.
To select Gating Mode:
Select GAtE from main menu
Minimal gating distance of 0 meters (display: 000 m) will be initially set, further pressing M button will increase gating distance by 100 m up to 3,900 m. When the desired distance is reached – select it by pressing Action button.
OVER 100M – indicates that gating is active To deactivate gating choose gating value zero.
Note: The gating distance can only be increased. To exit the gating selection cycle without setting any gating distance click through full gating range with M button or hold M button for 2 seconds.
Gating feature helps measuring remote targets in unfavourable atmospheric and environmental conditions by eliminating reflections from snowflakes, raindrops, industrial wires, tree branches, etc. At the same time, if gating distance is set incorrectly, you can remove the desirable object from measurement range.
