Info

to select the format you want to receive the data (with units, enter (in Excel the cursor jumps to the cell below), tabulator (in Excel the cursor jumps to the cell to the right)). Which limitations does the bluetooth technology have for the use with Leica DISTO? Bluetooth is a standard for wireless tranfser of data. The Leica DISTO is working with Bluetooth class 2 which alows to transfer data to a computer in a range of 0,3 and 10m (so do not put the Leica DISTO on your computer because the connection might drop off). The maximum range will not be achieved if you want to transfer data e.g. through walls. You also have to take care that the connection remains between the measurements. If the connection drops and you are coming back into the specified range the connection will be build up again after a few seconds. If you are transfering data when the units are not connected you will receive a error message. In this case wait for the reconnection and send the data again. Generally problems with connectivity can occur when you are working with many WIFI devices working at the same time (e.g. Hotel lobbies, meeting or seminar rooms, ...) Does my software for the Leica DISTO plus also work with a Leica DISTO A6? DISTO transfer works with both instruments. The plusDraw and plusXL sontware only workd with the DISTO plus. When you are using any software of a third party developer with your DISTO plus and you are switching to the DISTO A6 it may happen that it will not work properly. in this case please ask your software supplier for an update. Can I use the DISTO transfer program together with more than one Leica DISTO ? Yes you can. You have to start the Bluetooth setup with all instruments switched on (Bluetooth also on). All DISTOs will be displayed with the corresponding com-port it will be connected to. You have now to start DISTO transfer mutiple times and each transfer will connect to a different DISTO. please note that from all transfer programms the data will be transfered in the active window. I have installed the DISTO transfer software on my computer but it is not working properly. So the connection is not build up, data are not transfered even the devices are connected or I am getting error messages on my DISTO . What can I do? DISTO transfer supports the Bluetooth driver (stack) of Broadcom (Widcomm) and Microsoft (coming as standard with your Windows operating system). Sometimes when you buy a computer you will receive it preinstalled from the manufacturer. There it can happen that a manufacturer is using a different Bluetooth driver from another software provider. It might happen that you will have problems with the connectivity of your devices. In this case you will have to open the Control Panel and chose Add/Remove programs. If there is another driver than Widcomm or from Microsoft installed please select it and remove it from your computer. Make sure your Bluetooth is switched on and restart your computer. The Bluetooth module should be detected from the Windows and it will suggest to install the standard driver. Please click yes and follow the furtehr instructions. Which other software is available to use with my Leica DISTO A6? There are numerous provider of specific software which supports Leica DISTO existing. The combination of a good software and Leica DISTO only make the real customer beneftit. A list with third party software developer that are known by us you can find on our webpage http://www.leica-geosystems.com/cpd/en/support/lgs_4777. htm You will be amaized seeing the different oppotunities by these software.

ALL AbOuT DISTO A8 How accurate is the inclination sensor in the Leica DISTO A8? The accuracy of the inclination sensor to the laser beam is +/- 0.15° and +/-0.3° towards the bottom of the housing. Depending on the measured angle and the distance the accuracy varies. E.g in measuring an angle of 10° and a distance of 10m the horizontal mistake is 0.5cm and the mistake in height is 2.6cm. If an angle is measured of 60° and a distance of 10m the horizontal mistake is 2.3cm and the mistake in height is 1.3cm. In order to have best results with indirect measurements considering the deviation of the inclination sensor use the Leica DISTO A8 as follows. For measuring distances use the instrument as flat as possible. If you need to measure heights use the instrument as steep as possible. What different units for inclination are integrated in the Leica DISTO A8? The Leica DISTO A8 offers a variety of commonly international used units for inclination measurements. The enduser has the opportunity to individually choose from the following options: +/- 90.00°, +/-180.00°, +/-360.00°, 0.00%, 0.0 mm/m and 0.00 in/ft (equivalent to a pitch). Is it also possible to measure indirect heights starting at the bottom of the object as well? Yes, function two behind the indirect measurement key can be measured both ways. It does not matter if the first measurement is the top of the object and then the bottom or if the first measurement is the bottom of the object and the second one the top, both ways are possible. What are the advantages of the calibration certificate that is included in each Leica DISTO A8? The included calibration certificate is a great use for each customers that is using the device in measuring applications for officials. It is standardized after EN 10201-3.1. The documented values were measured with accredited devices in our laboratory. More information especially to the subject recalibration you find on our website under Support/FAQs. Is it possible to get some detailed information on the measurements I have completed? Yes, it is possible to get detailed information of the completed measurements for the following functions integrated in the Leica DISTO A8: area, volume, and on all functions behind the indirect measurement key. If you press the function key you are in again for a longer time you will receive detail information of the completed measurement. Compared to the Leica DISTO A5 what are the new features the Leica DISTO A8 offers? Compared with the Leica DISTO A5 on the A8 there are two new keys on the keypad. First of all instead the optical viewfinder which was integrated in the Leica DISTO A5 the A8 now has a digital viewfinder with 3fold digital zoom. That opens complete new measurement possibilities especially in difficult lighting conditions. Additionally behind the indirect measurement key you will find a numerous variety of new possibilities besides the well known Pythagoras. This is also possible due to the new integrated inclination sensor. What accessories are necessary to use with the Leica DISTO A8? It is strongly recommended to use the Leica DISTO A8 with a tripod which really helps to make the measurements more accurate by providing a stable reference for longer distances and exact aiming. Can the Leica DISTO A8 be used for horizontal angles? No, the inclination sensor only allows measuring vertical angles by holding the instrument with the display upwards. If you skip the instrument by more than 20° sideways it you will get an error message on the display. DISTOS FAQ.indd 17 30/06/2011 12:50:29 PM
