6833H-English_Manuals 4/2/13 1:26 PM Page 21 Tips from the Pro’s Take more than one measurement in critical situations where accuracy needs to be greater than an estimation measurement. Take 3-4 measurements from the same position to compare consistency of each reading. Prior to important measurements verify that the instrument is in proper working order and take sample measurements to of a known distance to verify accuracy.
