Abstract

The invention relates to a method for ensuring interaction between a distance meter and a surveying application. The system used for carrying out the inventive method comprises a computer unit (la) for executing the surveying application (2a), a distance-measuring element for measuring the distance to an object (4a) and recording a measured distance value that can be processed by the surveying application, and a remote-control element which has a wireless communication link (6a) with the computer unit (1a) for the purpose of interaction between the distance meter and the surveying application (2a). The method comprises the steps of measuring and recording the measured distance value, controlled by the distance meter, associating the measured distance value with a variable that can be processed by the surveying application (2a) by interaction between the distance meter and the surveying application (2a) via the remote control element, and transmitting the measured distance value to the surveying application (2a). The above steps can also be carried out in a different order. The invention also relates to a hand-held distance meter (20a) in which the distance measuring element, the remote-control element for the wireless communication link (6a) and especially display means (8a) and input means (13a) are disposed inside a common housing (12a).
