Here’s how to find the distance to your target with a distance meter. What Is a Distance Meter? What Is a Distance Meter? A distance meter is an electronic device that calculates distance from its target by measuring the time it takes for sound waves to reach it. Since sound travels at a known rate, distance meters can accurately calculate distance up to 100 yards away. The design of these devices varies somewhat; if you look online, you’ll find many types of distance meters that use acoustics, infrared or laser beams to determine a target’s location. Regardless of how they operate, all distance meters do basically the same thing—they convert something we see (in some cases) or hear into numbers and then use those numbers to determine how far away something is. Uses of Distance Meters Uses of Distance Meters One of distance meters primary uses is in construction and surveying. Construction workers and surveyors often use these instruments on a daily basis, measuring distance, elevation and length. The primary use for these devices is for measuring horizontal or vertical distances. One of its common uses is in surveying land to determine how it can be used. For example, determining how much usable land can be found on steep hillsides requires using distance meters as part of their research studies. How to Use Distance Meters How to Use Distance Meters First Things First! : If you’re about to start using your new digital distance meter for the first time, here are a few tips and tricks that can help you get started: Make sure you calibrate your device before you begin measuring. Take note of how far away from you your target is; if it’s too close or too far, it can affect accuracy. Ensure that there are no large obstacles between your device and target; obstructions can also interfere with readings. If you plan on taking multiple measurements, try to keep other environmental factors consistent. For example, take all measurements at night so lighting will be consistent across readings. Finally, make sure you remember how to operate your device! These devices might seem simple on their face but they come with their own set of buttons and dials—be sure you know where everything is before trying to use one of these meters for anything more than measuring distances in your yard or house.
