Indirect Measurement
The Meter can calculate distances with Pythagoras’
theorem. With this function, you can find a distance with
two auxiliary measurements, such as building height or
width measurements. It is helpful to use a tripod for a
height measurement that uses two or three
measurements.
Note
Make sure that you use the correct sequence of
measurement:
• All target points must be in a horizontal or
vertical plane.
• For the best results, turn the Meter about a
set point. An example of this is with the
endpiece fully open and the Meter on a wall.
• Make sure that the first measurement and
the measurement distance are at 90 °
angles.
• The minimum/maximum tracking is very
helpful for 90 ° angle measurements. See
page 17 for more information.

To find a vertical distance with two measurements
(Pythagoras 1):
1. Push
 3x.  shows on the display.
2. Point the laser at the first target (1). See Figure 16.
3. Push
 for the first distance (diagonal)
measurement.
4. Point the laser at the second target (2).

5. Make sure that the Meter is perpendicular to the wall.
6. Push  for the second distance measurement.
The Meter shows the height in the summary line. The
distance of the second measurement shows in the
secondary line.
