preset standard deviation value has been achieved. The
default standard deviation value is 0.003m. Setting this
value to a higher number gives shorter measurement time
but is less accurate, especially when measuring to
surfaces at greater distances or at oblique angles to the
line of sight.
• Weak Signal. This allows you to accept a DR measurement
that is below the normal instrument specification. This is
useful when measuring to poor reflective surfaces, or
when trying to achieve the maximum range of the
instrument.
• Min-Max Range. This allows you to specify the DR
measurement interval. For example, when you measure to
a small object at 50 m with a background object at 200 m,
set the min-max range from 2 m to 100 m. The distance
meter is then tuned to provide a distance within the
specified range and to ignore any signal from outside the
defined range. By default, the min-max range is 2–300 m.
Beam Divergence
All distance meter measurement beams diverge as the range
from the instrument increases. The divergence of the distance
meter beam relates to an increase in the size of the area being
sampled, not to a degradation of the measurement precision.
