3. DistoX2 User Manual Leica Disto X310 based DistoX Firmware Version 2 4 2015 02 22 Introduction DistoX is an electronic surveying device for cavers It consists of a Leica Disto X310 or E7400x US version of the X310 distance meter with a built in replacement board The board extends the functionality of the Disto by a three axis electronic compass clinometer and a Bluetooth connection to enable wireless readout of the results The three axis compass allows measurements of arbitrary directions with arbitrary orientations of the device without degradation of the precision Disto Functions The Disto behaves similarly to the original X310 The display shows the Azimuth in the first the inclination in the second and the distance in the bottom line It stores up to 1000 measurements to be inspected later or transferred over the Bluetooth connection Main Functions DIST power on start Laser measure distance CLR cancel current operation switch Laser off REF il change distance reference TIMER start timer automatic measurement MEM B show memory entries SMART lt show extended measurement information see below FUNC show device information see below Restrictions The following X310 functions are not available Min Max Add Subtract Area Volume Triangle Stake out Smart horizontal Caution There is no automatic recognition of the position of the endpiece Press the REF and FUNC keys to switch b
