Field Explanation
PPM Parts per million. The instrument’s Electronic Distance Meter (EDM) is
affected by the temperature and pressure at which the instrument is being
operated. Accurate entry of the ambient air temperature and barometric
pressure correctly adjusts the EDM measurements for the PPM (parts per
million) error associated with this effect.
