DISTOS

If you own a Bluetooth DISTO laser measuring device and you use a machine with Bluetooth capability, you can use it in conjunction with TOTAL for Mobile to simultaneously measure a home and draw your sketch while in the field.

If you wish to use a DISTO with your iPad or iPhone, you must use the DISTO e7500i or the D810. Additionally, you must use the iPhone 4s or greater or the 3rd gen iPad or greater (including the iPad Mini).

Connecting Your DISTO

Before you can start drawing your sketch with a DISTO, you must first establish a connection between TOTAL for Mobile and your DISTO device. To do so:

1. Enable the Bluetooth on your machine. The steps for this may vary, depending on the device you're using. Refer to your manufacturer's instructions for turning on Bluetooth.
2. Turn on your DISTO laser measuring device and press the Bluetooth button (  ) to enable the wireless connection.
3. Pair the DISTO with your machine within your Bluetooth connections. Refer to your DISTO's manufacturer for specific instructions on how to pair, as each model is slightly different.
4. In a sketch in TOTAL for Mobile, Tools, and select Connect DISTO and TOTAL for Mobile will attempt to establish a connection with your DISTO.

Drawing with Your DISTO

Drawing with your DISTO is as simple as taking a measurement with the DISTO and then pressing the correct directional arrow key on the DISTO to indicate the general direction of the line. For exact details on taking measurements with your DISTO and using its directional arrow keys, please refer to the user guide provided with your DISTO.
