Leica Disto X310 based DistoX 

Firmware Version 2.4 

2015/02/22 

 
 
Introduction 
 
DistoX is an electronic surveying device for cavers. It consists of a Leica Disto X310 or 
E7400x (US version of the X310) distance meter with a built in replacement board. The board 
extends the functionality of the Disto by a three axis electronic compass/clinometer and a 
Bluetooth connection to enable wireless readout of the results. The three axis compass allows 
measurements of arbitrary directions with arbitrary orientations of the device without 
degradation of the precision. 
 
 
Disto Functions 
 
The Disto behaves similarly to the original X310. The 
display shows the Azimuth in the first, the inclination in 
the second, and the distance in the bottom line. It stores up 
to 1000 measurements to be inspected later or transferred 
over the Bluetooth connection. 
 
Main Functions: 
DIST: power on / start Laser / measure distance 
CLR: cancel current operation, switch Laser off 
REF (    ): change distance reference 
TIMER: start timer (automatic measurement) 
MEM (      ): show memory entries 
SMART (      ): show extended measurement information (see below) 
FUNC: show device information (see below) 
 
 
Restrictions 
 
The following X310 functions are not available: 
Min, Max, Add, Subtract, Area, Volume, Triangle, Stake out, Smart horizontal. 
 
Caution: 
There is no automatic recognition of the position of the endpiece. Press the REF and FUNC 
keys to switch between rear case and endpiece reference.
