•The Leica Disto Manual discusses “Pythagoras” measurements. This is an advanced feature that is very handy for measuring windows that are too high to reach with a standard tape measure. See the third example (shown on page 11). The error range is larger than a direct measurement so this feature should only be used to make estimations and not critical measurements that will dictate the exact size of a given window treatment. Accuracy can be improved somewhat by attaching the Laser Measuring Tool to an inexpensive tripod and setting the reference to the same location that is used for inside measurements.
