Abstract
A device for measuring physical characteristics includes a beam generator selectively generating a target beam. The device further includes two angle detectors that measure the respective angles between the beams and, respectively a vertical and a horizontal axis. The device further includes a calculator that calculates the distances to said points as well as the distance between the two points.
