Gee!
You must be really fast with the tape measure to achieve 10 Hz
repetition rate betheen 1 and 25 m.

The DISTO Lite and Classic do not have the ability to transmit data. A
previous DISTO, called the DISTO Pro 4, did have an RS232 port. It is
no longer being manufactured. It was replaced by the DISTO Plus.
If you have any questions about the DISTO products, feel free to ask
them. You can also visit our website... http://www.lasermeters.com

Thanks for the link. The Disto Lite is only $330 (at lascolaser.com)
and measures up to 200m with 3mm accuracy. Their higher-end units have
bluetooth for wireless data transfer. If I only had a reason to buy
one; they look neat.

Actually, most laser range finders use a phase measurement, rather
than actual flight time. Leica Geosystems makes some fairly lowcost
laser distance meters, around $800 if I recall correctly.

That sounds like a laser rangefinder to me. All you need is a laser diode
and photodiode, possibly a reflector on the target coupled with some very
fast pulse generating and measuring. Hope that helps with the homework.

See, if you went metric you'd get a 300% + improvement on things straight
away.....

You can get a 25m tape for that price? Here in the US, for $10 you
would be lucky to get a good 25-foot tape.

I bought one on sale at the local hardware warehouse for about $50 the other
day.
