NEW Laser Technology, Inc.introduces the Criterion™ RD 1000, the first patented electronic basal area/dendrometer that accurately measures tree diameters and more! Utilizing the integrated tilt sensor you can collect diameter data at any point up the stem and also find the height at which a specific diameter
is reached. The Basal Area Factor (BAF) routine will show "In and Out" trees for a whole range of sampleing factors. "Borderline" trees are easily resolved by transmitting a distance from an LTI rangefinder into the RD 1000's input serial port or manually entering
a distance via the keypad. Are rough terrain and thick brush slowing you down? Eliminate positioning restrictions and obtain a direct read out of the diameter from any distance! The in-scope LED display offers variable brightness levels, making it easy to read under all lighting conditions.

Operating Modes:

  • BAF: Visually estimate if trees fall in or out of a given plot
    as related to the specified Basal Area Factor.
  • In/Out: Internally computes the limiting distance for
    questionable, borderline trees and determines if
    they are in or out of the plot.
  • Diameter: Determine the diameter of a tree at any
    given height.
  • Height/Diameter: Provides the ability to determine the
    height at which a specific diameter occurs.
