Maximum Range versus Reflectivity of the Target |
The maximum range achievable with a laser rangefinder depends strongly on the reflectivity of the target. Range performance as specified in the RIEGL brochures is given for a diffusely reflecting (lambertian) target with a reflectivity of 80 percent. For another reflectivity, the maximum range is found by the range correction factor as given in the diagram.
Information contained herein is believed to be accurate and reliable. However, no responsibility is assumed by RIEGL for its use. Technical data are subject to change without notice.
