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.
