Abstract

See full text

A leveling rod for electronic level for easily expanding a measurable range for long/short distance measurements without inaccuracy even when mixed and used with a conventional level, has a first pattern having a grayscale of predetermined rules for a first distance range measurement, and a second pattern enlarged/reduced with respect to a pattern with the inverted grayscale of the first pattern for a second distance range measurement different from the first distance range. An electronic level includes a height measuring device measuring a collimation point height from an output signal from a line sensor for correspondence to the first pattern, a grayscale inverting device inverting the grayscale of the output signal from the line sensor for correspondence to the second pattern, and a height correcting device correcting the height measured by the height measuring device according to a reduction scale of the second pattern with respect to the first pattern.
