For a clear view of your measurement values, we equipped the display with an EL back light. In addition, we incorporated the large LCD with 3 display levels allowing more information to be shown more clearly and with larger sized characters. As the EL back light is sensor activated, it lights only when ambient light conditions are low. Users will be satisfied under many different lighting conditions at the ease of reading the PT-80 display. Collecting and storing measurement data for reports can be tedious.. For efficient use of measured data, we equipped the PT-U80 with the ability to Send/Receive data when connected to a PC via USB. Using imported data for creating reports is easy. With the Preset Report Form it becomes even easier. Each data setting is also possible on the PC side. The software is downloadable from our website. If the laser pointer is shifted off-axis from an actual measurement center, it is difficult to accurately locate it again in the same place. To solve this difficulty, the PT-80 is equipped with a co-axial laser marker which points at the exact center of the measurement area, independent of working distance. Often, measurement from a long distance can be difficult and sometimes impossible due to a wide measurement area. The PT-80’s measurement area is 30 x 30 mm from a distance of 1 m. Even from 5 m, its long-focus design still manages an area of only 150 x 150 mm. So safe and secure measurement is possible even in difficult to reach or dangerous locations.
