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 at a surface on the target that is the closest to
perpendicular to the laser beam. The closer you get –
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, that is, the object producing the most
reflections will be considered a target.
4. Another way to improve reliability of measurement is
to use gating mechanism. If gating is active
