Gating mode
In this mode the gating function is activated: user can set the
minimal distance to the target; reflection from any object closer
than the gating distance will be ignored.
The Gating feature helps measuring remote targets in adverse
atmospheric and environmental conditions by eliminating
reflections from snowflakes, raindrops, industrial wires,
branches, etc. At the same time, if gating distance is set
incorrectly, you can remove the desirable object from
measurement range.
To enter the gating mode press the A button when
GAt
is
displayed. Minimal gating distance of 100 m will be initially set,
further pressing the M button will increase gating distance by
100 m up to 7,000 m. When the desired distance is reached –
select it by pressing A button.
The Gating distance can potentially be set longer than the
maximum measuring range. The device will not measure
anything then. To deactivate gating choose one of preset modes
that do not include gating (for example: Standard1, Standard2,
Code1, Code2, etc.).
Note: the Gating distance can only be increased. To exit gating
selection cycle without setting any gating distance press the M
button 70 times or hold the M button for 2 seconds.
