Laser Distance Measuring Tools
Easy operation is the same for most Laser Distance Measuring Tools. The distance measurer projects a laser which looks very similar to that of a laser pointer. Simply point and press the button. It will automatically measure to where the laser is pointed. Most Laser Distance Measuring Tools can do basic calculation like addition, subtraction, area, and volume. They can also store previous measurements (depending on the model) into internal memory. Some lasers will track minimum and maximum measurements. You can automatically transfer between different units of measure such as feet, inches, tenths, meters, etc. Some lasers have a built in tilt detector to take measurements at an angle, ranging anywhere from 45 to a full 360.
The Pythagorean function is a versatile feature found on most laser distance measurers. With this feature you can calculate the length of an object using 3 points. Using this method you do not have to be at the start or end point when taking the measurement. Use it if you do not have a target point or if you need to find the height of a window that is on the second floor. Another great feature is wireless blue tooth connection capabilities, which allows you to automatically transfer your saved measurements to a pocket PC and/or laptop and input them directly in to programs like AutoCad, Excel, and others.
