Functions

▼

Minimum/Maximum Measurement

In Min/Max mode, you "sweep" the laser point into a corner. The longest measurement is recorded. Very useful for accurate diagonal room or window/door measurements.

◄

Area & Volume Measurement

To get the area of a ceiling, floor, wall, or the volume of a room, you only need two or three measurements. No need to write down the individual values! The precise result is calculated automatically and shown on the display.

◄

Digital Point Finder

The integrated digital Point-Finder, with a 4x zoom and color display, makes finding the target at long distances a breeze. Its high resolution capability provides a sharp, crystal-clear image, allowing measurements to be taken even in glaring sunshine.

◄

Room Angle / Triangle

The triangle function helps you to calculate, quickly and efficiently, the area of a multi-cornered room. Divide the room into imaginary triangles. Using only three measurements, determine the area of each triangle, which you can add up cumulatively. Pressing a key gives you a detailed display of the room angle, so that you can quickly check whether it is a right angle.

◄

Smart Angle

Shoot three points to measure any angle. This includes outside angles, which is a first for a laser distance meter.

◄

Painter

With this function you can determine the total wall area of a room without having to note down any intermediate results. Simply measure the lengths of the walls which you can add or subtract as required. Finally measure the room height, which is then automatically multiplied by the previously calculated value. 

◄

Pythagoras

Using the tripod, you can measure distances indirectly, horizontally and vertically.The Leica DISTO calculates the result automatically for you from three measurements. Functions such as automatic minimum and maximum measurements help you to measure the right point.

Partial heights, e.g. balcony or window heights, are determined by Pythagoras. 

◄

360° Tilt Sensor

The tilt sensors in the Leica DISTO can measure inclinations up to +45°, or even have a measurement range of 360°. This means you can measure inclinations over your head. This is particularly useful for determining roof slopes. 

◄

Smart Horizontal Mode

The desired horizontal distance is determined using the tilt measurement, event if the object cannot be directly targeted horizontally. This is very helpful if there are obstacles, e.g. walls, hedges or people, between the instrument and the target.

◄

Height Tracking

You can determine the heights of buildings or trees that have no suitable reflective points by using the height tracking function. Target with the digital point finder on the bottom point of the height to be measured and take a measurement. Then target with the laser on the top point of the object. The display then shows the height.

◄

Stake Out

One or two different distances (a and b) can be entered into the device and then used to subtract from defined measured lengths. The display always shows the current stake-out distance and a direction arrow. At a distance of 0.1m to the next stake-out point an acoustic signal sounds.

◄

Height Profile Measurement

Target the device on a known reference mark and then measure the height differences of other points relative to this. If the measured points are taken all in one direction the profile of the ground can be determined from the measured horizontal distances and the height differences.

◄

Add and Subtract Measurements

It's not always so simple as taking one shot to get the measurement you need. Sometimes its handy to add multiple shots together, or subtract a negative space from a measurement. As you use the Add/Subtract function, the final result is displayed in the main line, and the last measurement taken is shown above.

◄

Camera

Take pictures for record purposes and download them to your computer using the USB interface. The integrated overview camera gives you more image information. For example, when dealing with tricky measurements you can photograph and record target points or specific features.

◄

Measure In Picture

The dual lens digital camera employs a wide field lens and a 4x zoom lens to power Measure in a Picture (MIP) technology -- the most advanced handheld remote measurement technology currently available. Combined with the data returned by the laser and the tilt sensor, the software uses the fixed focal lengths of the lenses to determine height, width, and area in MIP mode or the circumference and volume in Measure a Cylinder mode. The unit stores images with measurements laid over them for recall on the device or to download later, an especially useful feature for as-built measuring or Building Information Modeling (BIM).

Start by measuring at right angles to the object. After the object appears in the display you can mark the required dimension with the arrows and display the value. With this feature you could, for example, measure the width, height, and area of an advertising board using only one distance measurement.


Diameter measurement Measure to the center of the object with the device. The object appears in the display and then you can mark the diameter with the arrows. The display then shows the result. This function is ideal, for example, for determining the diameter of a tree trunk.

◄

Timer

Set a timer to delay a measurement the same way you would with the shutter on a digital camera.

◄

Personal Favorite Functions

With over 20 functions, chances are you are going to use one or two more than the rest. This Favorites function lets you bookmark your most-used functions on the tabs at the bottom of the touch screen.

◄

Touch Screen

The S910 is a touchscreen laser distance measures. In addition to making it easier for you switch between the functions, you can use familiar pinch and expand motions on the touchscreen to zoom the camera in or out. In Measure in Picture mode, you can tap and hold the brackets used to identify the points in the picture that you want to measure.

◄

Compass

The Disto S910 is like that big Swiss Army knife you always wanted, the one with all the doodads. The compass is useful for answering questions like, "Wait. Is this the north elevation or the west elevation?" or "Which way am I facing?"

◄

Trapezium

The Trapezium Function is useful for determining the length and slope of a roof section, and the area it covers. The DISTO uses the its internal tilt sensor to calculate the angle and the distance between the shots, which means you can measure roofs accurately from the ground.

◄

Sloped Object

Indirect distance measuring between two points. The reported measurements also include the horizontal distance between the two points, the vertical distance between the two points, and the angle between the points.

◄

Point 2 Point

Measure the tie distance between two points, even if you are hundreds of feet from your target. Shoot Point 1 then Point 2 and the S910 displays the distance between them. Widths, heights, diagonals, gaps, it doesn't matter: Just measure the start and end point and the distance is displayed.

◄

DXF Data Capture

After levelling the Disto S910 with the folded out Smart Base, you can measure points and save them in a DXF file. The files are then available for you to download by USB. The 2D DXF files present floor plans or wall layouts; the 3D DXF files provide you with the measured points in 3D for further processing. As long as the Point-Finder was switched on, you will also be able to download the pictures of the measured points.

◄

Wifi Data Transfer

Using the WLAN interface and the Smart Base, you can transfer any number of points in real-time to a portable computer. Leica Disto transfer with Plugin also supports data transfer into AutoCAD and BricsCAD. The data can also be transferred into other third-party software. In these cases, you can make direct use of the full range of functions of your preferred software. This function is ideal for checking existing datasets or preparing new drawings of existing buildings.

◄

Multi-Function End Piece

Whether measuring out of corners, slots or from edges, with this end-piece you are prepared for all measuring situations. The instrument detects the end-piece automatically, which helps you avoid expensive measuring errors.
