Test yourself with 8 quick questions. The quiz checks concepts, technology and rules without recommending a product.
Think about what the device sends toward the target and what it receives back.
Ignore slope compensation for this question.
Magnification changes what you see, not the speed of light.

It is feedback after target acquisition, not the ranging method itself.
A large building or reflective object can often be ranged farther than a small flag.
One measures the object you aim at; the other uses position and mapped course data.
Accuracy specifications do not eliminate target-acquisition challenges.
