Distance Meter

The Distance Meter is a tool that allows you to use the JedEye's sensors (Lidar and IMU) to measure distance, azimuth, and pitch in real-time without recording the data as a shot in a survey.

Access​

Navigate to OPTIONS > TOOLS > DISTANCE METER in the main menu.

Interface​

When active, the screen displays the real-time readings from the sensors:

  • Distance: Distance to the target in the selected unit.
  • Azimuth: Magnetic heading (compass bearing).
  • Pitch: Vertical angle (inclination).

In the menu you can choose:

  • MEASURE: Capture the current readings and broadcasts it on Bluetooth
  • EXIT: Return to the Tools menu.

Usage​

taking a Measurement​

  1. Aim the device at the target.
  2. Ensure the MEASURE option is selected (use the Next button to toggle if needed).
  3. Press the Select button.
    • The screen will flash white briefly to confirm the action.
    • The "Saved" values on the screen will update to the captured readings.
    • The captured values (Distance, Azimuth, Pitch) are broadcasted via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to any connected device.

Exiting​

  1. Press the Next button to select EXIT.
  2. Press the Select button to leave the Distance Meter mode.

Bluetooth Broadcasting​

While in Distance Meter mode, the device continuously broadcasts the last captured measurement data. This feature is useful for survey apps or external displays that can consume the real-time or captured data stream. Wifi will be turned off in that phase.
