Measurement Modes
Using a laser sensor and optional tilt sensor, the Impulse can take six different types of measurements:
Indicat
or
Function Explanation
HT Height (Impulse 200 only) Measures the height of an object
HD Horizontal Distance (Impulse 200 only) Measures the level distance between the Impulse
and the plane of the target object
VD Vertical Distance (Impulse 200 only) Measures the distance between a target object and
the perpendicular to the path of the horizontal distance
SD Slope Distance Measures the straight-line distance between the Impulse and a target
object
INC Inclination (Impulse 200 only) Measures the angle of inclination between the
Impulse at level, and the target
MULTI Multiple
Measurements
Allows the Impulse to take more than one measurement in succession
CUM - maintains a cumulative distance measurement for a succession
of targets
DIFF - calculates the differences between a base distance and a
succession of targets
