  2. Laser rangefinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_rangefinder

    A laser rangefinder, also known as a laser telemeter, is a rangefinder that uses a laser beam to determine the distance to an object. The most common form of laser rangefinder operates on the time of flight principle by sending a laser pulse in a narrow beam towards the object and measuring the time taken by the pulse to be reflected off the ...

  3. Fluke Corporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluke_Corporation

    Fluke Corporation is an American manufacturer of industrial test, measurement, and diagnostic equipment, including electronic test equipment. It was started in 1948 by John Fluke while he was employed at General Electric .

  4. Rangefinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangefinder

    A long-range laser rangefinder is capable of measuring distance up to 20 km; mounted on a tripod with an angular mount. The resulting system also provides azimuth and elevation measurements. A laser rangefinder, also known as a laser telemeter, is a rangefinder that uses a laser beam to determine the distance to an object.

  5. Lunar Laser Ranging experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Laser_Ranging...

    Lunar Laser Ranging experiments. Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) is the practice of measuring the distance between the surfaces of the Earth and the Moon using laser ranging. The distance can be calculated from the round-trip time of laser light pulses travelling at the speed of light, which are reflected back to Earth by the Moon's surface or by one ...

  6. Rangefinder camera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangefinder_camera

    A rangefinder camera is a camera fitted with a rangefinder, typically a split-image rangefinder: a range-finding focusing mechanism allowing the photographer to measure the subject distance and take photographs that are in sharp focus. Most varieties of rangefinder show two images of the same subject, one of which moves when a calibrated wheel ...

  7. Multimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

    Analog multimeter. Digital multimeter. A multimeter (also known as a volt-ohm-milliammeter, volt-ohmmeter or VOM) [ 1 ] is a measuring instrument that can measure multiple electrical properties. [ 2 ][ 3 ] A typical multimeter can measure voltage, resistance, and current, [ 4 ] in which case can be used as a voltmeter, ohmmeter, and ammeter.

  8. Stereoscopic rangefinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopic_rangefinder

    A stereoscopic rangefinder or stereoscopic telemeter[1] is an optical device that measures distance from the observer to a target, using the observer's capability of binocular vision. It looks similar to a coincidence rangefinder, which uses different principles and has only one eyepiece. German instruments tended to use the stereoscopic ...

  9. Calibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration

    Calibration. In measurement technology and metrology, calibration is the comparison of measurement values delivered by a device under test with those of a calibration standard of known accuracy. Such a standard could be another measurement device of known accuracy, a device generating the quantity to be measured such as a voltage, a sound tone ...
