• Horizontal Distance Measurement: Calculates the horizontal distance to the target, compensating for elevation changes.
• Vertical Height Measurement: Determines the vertical height of an object.
• Speed Measurement: Measures the speed of a moving object.
• Fog Mode: Improves measurement accuracy in adverse weather conditions such as rain or fog by filtering out interference.
