Basic functions, contd.
Height (4.5)
Using this menu function partial
heights not accessible for the
DISTO can be computed indirectly.
Many of the same application
examples for the Pythagoras
functions are valid here too.
DISTO computes the desired lengths
with three auxiliary measurements
using the Pythagoras function.
PD-Z32
• The second auxiliary measured
point is also the end point of the
desired length.
• The third auxiliary measurement is
to be made at a right angle to the
desired length.
After calling up the menu function the
following is displayed:
The first side if the triangle to be
measured and the corresponding
number "1" are displayed in black.
Press briefly to change into
Pointing mode.
Point at first measuring point with the
laser.
Trigger measurement. Hold
DISTO steady.
Without a stand there is the
possibility of a shaky
measurement. Thus in the Pointing
mode either:
- use the time delay release (x-key)
- or press the trigger key long enough
to start maximum tracking.
Press briefly to confirm
displayed value.
The first measured values appear
beside the corresponding "1".
At the same time the second side of
the triangle to be measured or the
height of the triangle with the
corresponding number "2" is
displayed in black.
Carry out the second auxiliary
measurement as described
previously.
Pressing and holding the trigger key
starts tracking.
The second measured value appears
beside the corresponding number
"2". At the same time the last to be
measured side of the triangle with
the corresponding "3" is displayed in
black.
Align DISTO approximately at a right
angle with the reference (wall).
Where the measured points were
arranged vertically, it would
correspond to the horizontal setting
of the DISTO.
Press briefly to change into
Pointing mode.
Press until minimum tracking
starts.
Move laser dot up and down and
crosswise along the extension of the
desired measuring distance until the
minimum distance can be determined.

The requirements for the auxiliary
measurements are the same as with
the Pythagoras function, but with the
following exceptions:
