Introducing the new Leica DISTO™ D3a BT

The Leica DISTO™ D3aBT incorporates Bluetooth technology for error-free data transfer, a large high resolution colour display and digital Point-finder for presion targeting. All measurement results can be transferred wirelessly and without errors to pocket-PCs or PCs using the integral Bluetooth technology, where they can be further processed quite easily in Excel, AutoCAD or other software.

Error-free data transfer by Bluetooth
Measurement results can be transferred wirelessly and without errors to pocket-PCs or PCs using the integral Bluetooth technology, where they can be further processed quite easily in Excel, AutoCAD or other software. The AutoCAD plug-in provides a convenient means of using the data for designing and drawing in AutoCAD.

Smart Horizontal Mode
Thanks to the combination of distance and tilt measurements, the operator can determine the horizontal distance absolutely precisely. At a touch of a button the indirect hieght can be also displayed.

45°Ttilt sensor
The in-built tilt sensor does more than just determine angles. As mentioned above, the combination of angle and distance measurement opens up completely new measuring possibilities. Such as being able to quickly and efficiently determine horizontal distances over the top of obstructions, or the height of a structure using Pythagoras.
