Measurements Using Trapezoid Functions; Function Group 'Trapezoid' - Hilti PD-C Manual De Instrucciones Original

Note
When taking the measurement at right angles it is important to adhere exactly to the 90° angle.
Take care to ensure that the reference position remains unchanged during the entire measuring
operation. Use of the short measuring extension is helpful.
As the Pythagoras functions do not make use of the inclination sensor, the tool can be pivoted in
any direction.
2. Measure the distance to the farthest end point of the section.
◁ The result is displayed.
6.5.4 Function'Pythagoras II'
This function indirectly determines the length of a section by taking a 90° measurement to a point within the
section.
6.5.5 Measuring using the 'Pythagoras II' function
1. Measure the distance to the first end point of the section.
Note
Take care to ensure that the reference position remains unchanged during the entire measuring
operation. Use of the short measuring extension is helpful.
As the Pythagoras functions do not make use of the inclination sensor, the tool can be pivoted in
any direction.
2. Measure a distance to the section from a position at right angles. Please note that this point must lie on
the same line as the two section end points.
Note
When taking the measurement at right angles it is important to adhere exactly to the 90° angle.
3. Measure the distance to the other end point of the section.
◁ The result is displayed.
6.5.6 Function'Pythagoras III'
This function indirectly determines the length of a section by taking a 90° measurement to a point along a
line extending past the section.
6.5.7 Measuring using the 'Pythagoras III' function
1. From a position at right angles, measure the distance to a point that lies on a line extending past the
section.
Note
When taking the measurement at right angles it is important to adhere exactly to the 90° angle.
Take care to ensure that the reference position remains unchanged during the entire measuring
operation. Use of the short measuring extension is helpful.
As the Pythagoras functions do not make use of the inclination sensor, the tool can be pivoted in
any direction.
2. Measure the distance to the first end point of the section.
3. Measure the distance to the other end point of the section.
◁ The result is displayed.

6.6 Measurements using trapezoid functions

6.6.1 Function group 'Trapezoid'

To measure an inclined surface, three reference measurements must be taken.
Note
Measurements using the 'Indirect', 'Pythagoras' and 'Trapezoid' functions typically obtain consid-
erably less accurate results than direct measurements. This is due to the variation in positioning that
usually occurs when holding the tool by hand (without a stable tripod and without accurately marked
contact points and target points).
