Distance meters with display of minimum / max. values

Min. / maximum values

— in this mode, the device takes a whole series of measurements at a short interval, and then displays the smallest or largest of the obtained values.

Usually, modern rangefinders provide both formats of operation (both minimum and maximum), which is why they are combined into one function. However, the meaning of these options is different. So, the maximum value allows, among other things, to accurately determine the diagonal of the room: it is enough to place the device in the corner, turn on the appropriate mode and slowly draw the laser horizontally in the region of the opposite corner; the largest distance obtained will be the length of the diagonal. In turn, the minimum value can be useful, for example, to measure the length of the perpendicular to the wall; the measurement technique here is similar, and the smallest number obtained will exactly correspond to the length of the perpendicular.
