Device for supporting a commercially available hand- held laser distance measurement meter (1) allows the meter to be tilted about two perpendicular axes. The meter can be moved with two stepper motors that can be remotely controlled using PC mouse, trackball, etc. Um ein dreidimensionales Erfassen...
