8.1 Connecting distance

The Connecting Distance application enables you to measure the distance between

two points in situations where it is not possible to measure this distance directly.

This option enables you to measure cross sections, and check the distances between

points, boundaries, and buildings.

If it is not possible to measure a distance between two points directly, the

measurement to the two points must be started at a station point (S). The program

calculates the distances (SD and HD) and the height difference (h) between the points.

This option enables you to measure cross sections, and check the distances between

points, boundaries and buildings.

To start the

Connecting Distance option, select

[1] Conn.Dist from the Applications menu.

Note – In any measurement screen, you can press to

change the point number and point code and the EDM

mode, or check recorded data.
