Distance & Spot Size
This meter's distance to spot size is 8:1, meaning that if the meter is
8 inches from the target the diameter of the object under test must be at
least 1 inch in size. The target needs to be larger than the unit's spot size.
The smaller the target, the closer you should be to it. When accuracy is
critical, make sure the target is at least twice as large as the spot size.
See below for more information.
