Continuous measurement (tracking) Switch on the tool. [. . . ] Repeat these verification measurements at regular intervals as well as before and after important measuring tasks. Apply a measuring equipment inspection sticker to the PD 20 and document the entire inspection procedure. Your PD 20 conforms to the specified accuracy if the standard deviation remains less than or equal to 5mm. A PD 20 which has been tested / inspected over the test distance will operate with the accuracy specified in the operating instructions over the entire specified length and temperature range. [. . . ]
