· The laser sensor does not measure when taking the two inclination angle measurements. You do not need a clear line of sight to the bottom or top of your target.
· The sequence of the two inclination angles shots does not matter: Bottom to Top OR Top to Bottom.
· Press the Select button during the Height routine to re-measure previous measurement (ANG__1 or ANG_2), ideal for taking multiple height measurements on the same target.

Measure Height in 2-Shots
This measurement routine is ideal for leaning objects and requires a clear line of sight for both shots.

· Position yourself where shot 1 and 2 are made looking in the same direction with a clear line of sight to both targets.
· The VD solution will always be accurate no matter which direction shot 1 and 2 are taken. · If shot 1 is higher than shot 2, the VD value will be negative.

Measure 3D Missing Line (TruPulse 360i only)

[1] Position yourself anywhere you have a clear line of site to your two targets. [2] Press Navigation Buttons until

is displayed.

[3] Follow the same steps 2-7 from the 2D Vertical Missing Line routine. [4] The TruPulse 360i calculate five variables between the two points: slope distance, inclination, azimuth, horizontal distance, and vertical distance as
shown in Figure.
