ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device for distance measurement, comprising a housing (24) which is provided with an integrated emitting unit (32) for a measuring signal (34, 36) and a receiving unit (38) for the measuring signal (34, 36) returned from a target object (16), and an evaluation unit (46) for determining the distance (d) between at least one reference point (14) of the housing (24) and the target object (16, 18), a display device (50) which reproduces said distance (d), and at least one receiving element (28) which is connected to the housing (24) and receives a holding element (12, 13) of the device.According to the invention, means (66, 84, 86) are provided in or on the housing (24) of the device (10) for detecting an inserted holding element (12, 13) for the housing (24). Said means automatically transmit the reference point (14) of the distance measurement to the evaluation unit (46), said reference point being used for a measurement with the aid of said holding element (12, 13).
