9.9 Area & Volume
Description Area is an application used to compute online areas to a maximum of 50 points
connected by straights. The target points have to be measured, selected from
memory, or entered via the keypad in a clockwise direction. The calculated
area is projected onto the horizontal plane (2D) or projected onto the sloped
reference plane defined by three points (3D). Furthermore a volume with
constant height can be calculated in relation to the area (2D/3D).
