Notes about Measurements
• Press
or to scroll through the individual measurement functions
and see the results acquired for each function.
o Both inclination and distance are measured in the HD, SD, and VD
modes.
o Example Range Measurement: HD = 12.5 meters
VD = 1.6 meters
SD = 12.6 meters
INC = 7.3 degrees
Note: Only International lasers include meters.
o When you scroll to the Height Function, the Main Display will be blank
and the HD indicator will be flashing.
o In the Inclination Mode, the Main Display will be blank for all other
measurement functions since the laser is not active when measuring
inclination only.
• The last measurement does not need to be cleared before acquiring your next
target.
• Each time the TruPulse is powered ON, it will return to the same measurement
mode that was last used.
Inclination Measurements
The laser is not active in the Inclination (INC) Measurement Mode. Generally, the inclination is
measured when you press
. However in (1) the Continuous Target Mode and (2) in the Height
Measurement Mode, the inclination reading appears in the Main Display and the display updates as
your aiming point changes as long as you press
.
Percent Slope
Percent slope (indicated by “PERCENT”) is a calculation equal to 100 times the tangent of the
inclination angle. It is a variant way of expressing the inclination. You can get percent slopes only
in the basic measurement displays, never in the Height measurement displays. Note also that the
instrument never downloads a percent slope. It always downloads the inclination angle.
An inclination angle of 5 degrees for example is equal to a slope of about
8.7 percent.
