| When Do I Need The Pythagorean Function? |
|
![]() |
||
Whenever distances cannot be measured directly, e.g., if a target point is missing such as with a flat roof. The Leica DISTO A8 offers even more measuring options with the integrated tilt sensor. Thanks to this function you can measure indirect distances in a similar fashion to the Pythagoras function, however instead of 3 distance measurements, the tilt is measured. Ideal when no direct point is available: |

Why Are Laser Distance Meters Better Than Ultra Sonic? |
||
![]() |
Leica DISTO's measure with laser - exactly and over hard to reach areas. Ultra sonics measure with sound waves, which spread out conically and give only and indicative result as opposed at an accurate measurement. Sonics are affected by objects that appear within the measurement cone and do not operate well outdoors. Normal measurement range of an ultra sonic instrucment is 20 meters while a Leica DISTO measures up to 200 meters with high accuracy. | |
