Zoom90 | 54Technical Data
Formulas The instrument calculates the slope distance, horizontal distance, height difference in accordance with the
following formulas:
Earth curvature (1/R) and mean refraction coefficient (k) are automatically taken into account when calcu-
lating the horizontal distance and height difference. The calculated horizontal distance relates to the
station height and not to the reflector height.
