What are favorable/unfavorable measuring conditions?
Favorable/average measuring conditions: • Materials with good reflecting characteristics, meaning they reflect the laser beam in a divergent (not mirrored!) manner. • Laser dot is brighter than the ambient light. • Operating within the allowable temperature range (-10 + 50 C). Unfavorable measuring conditions: • Highly reflective surfaces • Highly absorbing surfaces, such as wet or dark surfaces. • Operating at the limits of the allowable temperature range. • Not waiting for temperature calibration. • Very intensive ambient light. • Shimmering. • For optical and safety reasons, do not measure against colorless liquids (water) or glass.
