Instead of measuring sections and adding them together, the brains at Leica Geosystem have introduced the tilt function into the Leica DISTO range. Not only will the instrument measure the angle of tilt, but calculate the true horizontal distance.

Therefore by simply utilising the smart measuring mode, the Leica DISTO will combine the distance and tilt measurement functions to calculate the true horizontal distance.

Smart! Well it gets better.

Leica have also incorporated a number of other calculations into the smart horizontal mode. By pressing the button for longer, the indirect height to the laser dot, angle of the instrument and distance to the laser dot will be displayed.

With the Pythagoras function, the instrument requires line of sight to both the top and bottom of the structure. By utilising the Smart Horizontal Mode when the instrument is placed on a tripod, the user can measure the height to the top and measure the height of the instrument from the ground.

Below is a list of instrument which features the smart horizontal mode:
Leica DISTO D3a
Leica DISTO D3a BT
Leica DISTO D5
Leica DISTO D8

Well in short, very.

With the introduction of the Leica DISTO DXT model, there is no tougher instrument. Built to with stand any knocks and falls commonly encountered on a building or construction site.

Although the standard range of instruments have been designed with a strong magnesium housing encasing the laser and receive lens, they are precision instruments so will not be too happy if dropped into water.

So Leica Geosystems have incorporated several new features into the Leica DISTO DXT design.

The impact-resistant housing has been strengthened with special fibreglass-reinforced plastic bracing.

Passes drop tests from 2m height thanks to the thick rubber housing on the outside which protects the module against possible damage.

A special rubber sealing strip protects all components – even the battery compartment.

The Leica DISTO DXT is the only laser measuring instrument to pass rigorous tests according to IP 65. That means it can be jet washed to remove dirt without affecting the internal components and submerged in water.

The internal components have been design with abuse in mind. Less parts to go wrong and more importantly components that works better under arduous conditions.

OK, the Leica DISTO DXT will not be able to measure complicated architectural structures like the Leica DISTO D3a or Leica DISTO D5 models. But if you work on a building site or require a heavy duty instrument, then this is the instrument for you. ]]> http://surveyexpress.wordpress.com/2010/04/30/leica-disto-d3a-laser-measure/ Fri, 30 Apr 2010 09:44:19 +0000 surveyexpress http://surveyexpress.wordpress.com/2010/04/30/leica-disto-d3a-laser-measure/ The new Leica Disto D3a has recently been launched, providing an enhanced laser measuring package, more functions and a better looking design.

Leica Geosystems are the leading manufacturer of precision measuring instruments and originally developed the Leica Disto range over 15 years ago. Now into the 6th generation, Leica has always been striving to improve the models proving cutting edge technology with user friendly functions.

Precision at the torch of a button
The Leica DISTO D3a features a measuring accuracy of ±1mm with an enhanced measuring range of 100m. The Power Range Technology boosts the measuring performance, allowing long range measurements to be taken.

Tilt Sensor
The instrument’s inbuilt tilt sensor quickly and simply determines tilts up to ± 45°. This will allow you to measure the angle of a slope or the angle of a corner in a room.
 

Smart Horizontal Mode
Thanks to the combination of distance and tilt measurements you can determine the horizontal distance absolutely precisely. At a touch of a bottom the indirect height can be also displayed.

Area – Painter Function
The Leica DISTO D3a features an Area – Painter function allowing the floor, wall and ceiling areas, volumes and circumference to be recorded. Easy to use and saving you valuable time in calculating materials required.

Multi-functional Endpeice
When you need to measure from a corner, simply flip out the end piece and take the measurement. The instrument will automatically sense the position of the bracket and adjust the measurement accordingly.

Multiple functions
The Leica DISTO D3a can also calculate areas, volumes, room dimensions and various types of Pythagorean functions. A time delay release and enough memory for up to 20 measurements finish off the instruments wide range of functions – a concept designed to make your work easier.
