6. BEST MEASURING TECHNIQUE
Laser range finder measures distance by catching laser beam reflected from the target. Everything that improves reflection increases the measurement reliability and maximum range.
1.Use tripod when ranging remote targets. The longer is the distance, the greater is the beam shift due to hand tremor.
2.Aim the unit at a surface on the target that is the closest to perpendicular to the laser beam. The better perpendicular to the target – the stronger will be the reflection.
3.The unit deploys sophisticated software that tries to understand which target you are aiming at. However, due to beam divergence several objects may produce a strong reflection. To help the System recognise the target the Target Selection Logic may be used. For example, if ranging a wire in front of a building, selecting the “first” target will produce a more reliable result. Alternatively, when aiming at a chimney behind the trees, selecting “last” target will be better. By default the System assumes “auto” target selection, i.e. the object producing the most of reflections will be considered a target.
