What is the measuring accuracy when using the indirect measuring functions including tilt sensor?
For example, if a distance of 10m is measured at an angle of 10o, the error on uncertainty on measurement on the direct horizontal distance (fd) is 3mm. If a distance of 10m is measured at an angle of 45o, the uncertainty of measurement on the direct horizontal distance (fd) is 12mm. -> in order to have best results with the direct horizontal distance measurements, considering the deviation of the tilt sensor, use the Leica DISTO ™ D8 as flat as possible. The horizontal distance error (fd) and the height error (fh) can be calculated as follows: fd = horizontal distance error fh = error in height d = measured distance a = angle at which the distance is measured fa = possible angular error fd = d * cos (a) – d * cos (a + fa) fh= d * sin (a) – d * sin (a + fa) Further information and a table of measuring accuracies you can find online in the FAQ under “Measuring Accuracy”.
