DISTO online (Shareware)

DISTO online is a program to operate a Leica Data DISTO at any serial or BLUETOOTH port within a MS Windows CE, Windows 95/98/ME or Windows NT/2000/XP operated PC or Notebook computer. The Leica DISTO measurements are automatically formatted and transmitted into any active window, input field etc. or any fixed input field depending upon your desire.

For DISTO online there are 2 installation programs: An installation program for the "minimum" installation, in which no Windows system files are included, and an installation program for the "maximum" installation, in which also all necessary system files for Microsoft Windows are included. This distinction was made since the very most computers have the current system files, and it is not necessary to update them, the installation program for the minimum installation is therefore much smaller and therefore it is much faster to download it from the internet.

Both installation programs contain all language versions.
