Can a Leica DISTO ™ D3 be calibrated by the user?
The user can calibrate the device’s tilt sensor. The angle sensor is switched on by pressing the function key once. Then two measurements are taken on a flat surface. The first measurement is taken and a note is made of the measured angle a. The device is then turned through exactly 180o, the second measurement is taken and a note is made of the measured angle b. The value x to which the device must be corrected is calculated as follows: x = -(a+b) /2 The calibration mode is then entered by pressing keys “Clear Off” and the “Function key” both at the same time for 2 seconds. The correction value x can be entered here using the “plus” and “minus” keys. The entered value is stored and implemented by pressing the “Menu/=” key.
