How do I know if the device is still measuring in the digital Pointfinder mode?
When using the digital Pointfinder in any function, especially in the Long Range (LR) Mode, you will see a clock icon on the top of the display. The clock stays in the display until the measurement is finished. Please do not move the device before! Can I use the profile measurement only in a horizontal line? No, you can use this function in any horizontal position. This allows you to use the Leica DISTO D8 as one person operating digital level. The accuracy depends mainly on the used distance and the accuracy of the inclination sensor. For usage up to 10m on a 1.5m tripod height deviations of up to 17mm are possible. Additional deviations are possible depending on the tripod that is used (due to distance between laser axis and tilt axis of tripod), best results will be achieved by using the adaptor LSA360 on a middle column of a tripod. When using the Leica DISTO D8 over larger distances (>10m) we recommend to measure on a vertical target plate like e.g. the setup target plate in the s
