Title: Calibration method for DME.
Post by: kuoungku. cho on 04-24-2013 -- 07:22:46
Hi,
Does anyone know the calibration method for the DME(Distance Meter Electrical) that uses the laser? It has about 5 kmeters measurement capability.  Would you let me know the way?

Thanks,

I have talked to a couple manufacturer's of laser distance meters and they have pretty much said these don't get calibrated.  They are too accurate to have a physical distance standard to compare it against.  I still have clients that want them calibrated though.  I tell them I can do a comparison check to a tape measure, but their instrument is more accurate. They don't care as long as they get a sticker.
