Abstract

An electro-optical distance meter and a distance measuring method, wherein a distance to a target is measured based on runtime by means of radiation pulses, which are emitted at a pulse rate. Received radiation pulses are digitized by means of sampling, wherein the sampling rate is set in dependence on the pulse rate, wherein a digitized signal is generated on the basis of sampling over the reception signals of a plurality of received radiation pulses.
