Abstract

The invention relates to an optoelectronic distance measuring device having a transmitting unit having a driver stage for a light source for emitting optical pulses as pulsed-mode-intensity-modulated optical radiation, having a receiving unit for receiving a portion of the optical radiation, said portion being reflected from a target object, and converting it into an electrical reception signal, by means of a photosensitive electrical component. It also has an analogue-digital converter for digitizing the reception signal, and an electronic evaluation unit which is designed in such a way that a distance from the target object can be ascertained on the basis of a signal propagation time using the digitized reception signal.

Abstract

The invention relates to a portable observation device having an observation path for optical targeting of a target object, and comprising an optoelectronic rangefinder for measuring the distance in the direction of the targeting. The rangefinder includes a transmission unit for emitting a temporal sequence of pulses of optical radiation, a reception unit for receiving a portion of the optical radiation cast back by the target object and for determining signal information and an electronic evaluation unit, which a distance to the target object can be determined on the basis of a signal travel time between emission and reception of the optical radiation. When a trigger is actuated manually, the distance is determined including the signal information from a specified minimum number of pulses, which define a minimum length of a time window of the distance measurement.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for a field compensation of an electronic compass for influences to a geomagnetic field by magnetic objects in the vicinity of the compass, that is done with acquiring a magnetic field value by a magnetic field sensor and acquiring an inclination with respect to level plane by an accelerometer, in a discrete set of multiple orientations of the compass. Therein, a user guidance for subsequently orienting the compass into a predetermined desired range of orientation is provided to the user. In the following, compensation data are calculated from those magnetic sensor acquisitions to compensate for the influences in such a way, that a magnetic north heading is determinable based on the compensated magnetic field values. Therein, the user guidance for the compensation is done with a gathering of directional information based on rotary rate readings from a gyroscope for an azimuthal component of the orientation.
