I want to use such a device with a plastic corner-cube reflector plate, which reflects THOUSANDS as much back in the direction of the emitter than a white paper-like surface. (See Lambertian reflector.) I want to measure 500, 1000, 2000 meters, with a resolution of 1 millimeter . Problem is, I don't think the device will 'wait for' such a delayed reflection, even when it arrives with plenty of intensity. And, of course, the display also doesnt have sufficient digits to display this. Perhaps these manufacturers don't want to compete with professional distance measuring equipment? N
Don't buy Bosch, it's shows dimensions to 1/32. Quick what's 17/32? No Bosh, just No. I've been writing them for years asking them to make 1/16 their minimal fraction. just because you can doesn't mean you should, besides, it's only accurate to 1/16th.
Maybe thats a new thing, but I've had a bosch for 15 years. Set for inches, i get 16. But getting something new soon. I do construction, tape is used more, laser is super helpful in certain situations/areas of the job
Hhhmm - basic Mathematics: Accuracy of measurement is HALF of the UNIT used. QUOTE: "it's only accurate to 1/16th...." is nonsense. Basic Junior Secondary Mathematics teaches that. Besides, if designing small instruments / circuit boards / whatever, then 1/16th is a massive error (in measurement). No wonder Bosch has not responded to your advice. They know their business.
I think you can change that default in the Bosch to 1/16. a long press on some menu. why is this not the default? if they want more, throw me a +/- , dont change to 1/32
