You can determine the heights of buildings or trees that have no suitable reflective points by using the height tracking function. Target with the Point-finder on the bottom point of the height to be measured and take a measurement. Then target on the top point of the object. The display
then shows the height.
The desired horizontal distance is determined using the tilt measurement, even if the object cannot be directly targeted horizontally. This function is very helpful, e.g. if walls, hedges or people are between the instrument and the target.
The tilt sensors in the Leica DISTO can measure inclinations up to +/- 45°, or even have a measurement range of 360°. This means you can also measure inclinations over your head. This is particularly interesting for people who wish to determine roof slopes.
With this function you can determine e.g. the total wall area of a room without having to note down any intermediate results. Simply measure the lengths of the walls, which you can add or subtract as required. Finally measure the room height, which is then automatically multiplied by the previously calculated value.
The triangle function helps you to calculate, quickly and efficiently, the area of a multi-cornered room. Divide the room into imaginary triangles. Using only three measurements, determine the area of each triangle, which you can add up cumulatively. Pressing a key gives you a detailed display of the room angle, so that you can e.g. quickly check whether it is a right angle.
With only two or three measurements, you can quickly and precisely calculate the area of a ceiling, floor or wall, or the volume of a room. No need to note down the individual values! The result is calculated automatically and shown on the display.
The maximum measurement is very helpful, e.g. for finding out the room diagonal. The minimum measurement can be used to measure at right angles to a wall.
Yes, in the “Settings” you can go to the “Offset Icon” and enter a value that will constantly be added / subtracted from your measured distance value. If an offset value is entered you will see the adequate symbol - a triangle with plus or respectively minus next to the laser symbol.
If you want to set the offset value back to zero, enter the setting “Offset” and reset it.
It is the parallax effect due to the distance between the laser window and the digital Pointfinder optics. This effect occurs only when the digital Pointfinder is used on targets below 10 m.
In this case the laser dot appears displaced in reference to the crosshair. This is not an error!
For distances below 10 m please rely on the real laser dot.
D5 & D8
On the screen of the Digital Pointfinder on top of the crosshair you see a symbol existing of a “Sun” and a “+” and “-“. By pressing the “Plus” and “Minus” key you are able to adjust the brightness in 5 steps.
E7500i & D810
When turning the Digital Pointfinder on it is indicated in the display that you can change the brightness with the left and right arrow keys on the keypad.
