Caracteristici cheie:
- 2.8-inch 320 x 240 display for clear data visualization.
- Measures any shape of land area and girth (excluding upland and slope).
- Capable of testing length or distance between any two points.
- Displays test data, graphic trajectory, and total calculation amount on screen.
- Supports both manual and automatic measurement methods.
- Multiple unit options: mu, square, hectare, and kilometers.
2. Safety Precautions and Important Notes
To ensure accurate measurements and safe operation, please observe the following guidelines:
- Utilizare în exterior: This device is designed for outdoor use in open areas. Avoid operating near tall obstructions such as buildings or dense trees, as these can interfere with GPS signal reception.
- Achiziție satelit: The device requires a minimum of 6 satellites to be acquired before it can begin measurement operations. Ensure sufficient satellite lock for accurate results.
- Minimum Measurement Area: Do not attempt to measure land areas smaller than 0.3 mu (approximately 200 square meters), as accuracy may be compromised.
- Measurement Trajectory: When measuring, avoid crossing or overlapping your trajectory. Maintain a clear, non-intersecting path for precise area calculation.
- Coordinate Stability: Before initiating any measurement, verify that the Latitude and Longitude coordinates displayed on the device are stable. Unstable coordinates indicate poor GPS signal and will lead to inaccurate readings.
