3. Press Navigation Buttons to scroll through the other measurement values calculated.
4. Press Fire button to clear measurements and repeat step 1 through 4

Helpful Tip
The Vertical Distance solution can be used to measure height or clearance. In Fig. 1 & 2, just add the height of the laser at your eye level from the ground to the measurement.

Measure Height

Measure Height (3-pt Routine)
This routine is ideal for flat, vertical objects that do not lean. To shoot through brush, use the filter mode, foliage filter and a reflector.

1. Press Navigation buttons until is displayed.
2. Aim where you have a clear line of sight to the target and press-and-hold fire button .
   1. The laser indicator will be displayed. The horizontal distance is acquired and displayed.
3. is displayed, aim to the bottom of the target, press-and-hold fire button the inclination Angle_1 is measured and displayed.
4. is displayed, aim at the top of target, press-and-hold , the inclination angle_2 is measured and displayed.
5. Height measurement is calculated , display flashes then solid with calculated height value.

Helpful Tip

• 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.

1. Press Navigation buttons until is displayed
2. Aim where you have a clear line of sight to the bottom of the target and press-and-hold fire button
   1. The laser indicator will be displayed. When the measurement is acquired will be displayed. Note this value for the Vertical Distance (VDb) measurement.
3. Aim where you have a clear line of sight at the top of the target then pressand-hold the fire button .
4. The laser indicator will be displayed. When the measurement is acquired will be displayed. Note this value for the Vertical Distance top (VDt) value.
5. Subtract the two values to calculate the height, VDt -VDb = Height.

NOTE: when subtracting the values, pay attention to the sign of the VD.

Measure 2D Vertical Missing Line

1. Press Navigation Buttons until is displayed.
2. Aim where you have a clear line of sight at target, press-and-hold fire button
   1. The laser indicator will be displayed. When the measurement is acquired Shot.1 results will be displayed.
3. is displayed, Aim where you have a clear line of sight at target, pressand-hold fire button.
   1. The laser indicator will be displayed. When the measurement is acquired Shot.2 results will be displayed.
4. The HD and INC ML values will be calculated and displayed , press navigation buttons to scroll through the SD and VD ML values from shot 1 to shot 2.
5. Press Check button to scroll to and re-measure the Shot.2,
6. Continue to press Check button to return to step 1.
7. Press fire button to return to step 1.

Helpful Tip

• 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.

Tips: Improving the accuracy results

• During the Missing Line Routine, it is important that the TruPulse stay positioned above one particular point on the ground.
• Mounting the TruPulse on a monopod or tripod will improve the accuracy of your results location of the TruPulse.
• If you are using the TruPulse handheld, be aware of your body having a swinging motion as you aim to second target.
