TARGET PRIORITY MODES:
No matter how powerful the laser system in a rangefinder is, a returning
laser signal still has to be read and processed. The processor may receive
multiple return signals from different objects downrange, and needs to
predict which one is the one you want a reading for. By changing modes, you
can instruct the processor to focus on specific data, giving you a better
chance of obtaining the reading you want. These modes are summarised in
PAGE 5.
To switch between Target Priority Modes, hold in the black MODE button for 3
Seconds.
The HELIX 1500 also has a SCAN
function which can be used in any mode. To
activate, simply hold in the red RANGE
button. This will give a continuous
reading for a few seconds. This feature is useful when trying to obtain a
reading off a small target - By scanning past the target and watching the
readout, you may be able to detect a sudden change in the range value,
possibly indicating a return signal from the small target as the beam passes
by.
