dm_geocom_api_request_get_quick_distance Subroutine

public pure subroutine dm_geocom_api_request_get_quick_distance(request)

Request of TMC_QuickDist procedure. Creates request for returning the slope distance and both angles.

The function starts an EDM tracking measurement, and waits until a distance has been measured. Then, it returns the angles and the slope distance, but no coordinates. If no distance could be measured, only angles and an error code are returned. A measurement may be aborted by calling TMC_DoMeasure.

The instrument returns the following responses:

• grc – GeoCOM return code.
• hz – Horizontal angle [rad].
• v – Vertical angle [rad].
• sdist – Slope distance [m].
