  • Laser measuring apparatus for measuring distances, method for operating a laser measuring apparatus for measuring distances
    Patent number: 12681147
    Abstract: A laser measuring apparatus for measuring distances is disclosed, including a pulse laser; a photon detection device with a group of detection units; an evaluation device; a time measuring device; and a control device, wherein the control device is configured such that a plurality of measurement cycles is performed during each of the measurement operations; that one of the laser pulses is emitted with the pulse laser at the beginning of each measurement cycle of the plurality of measurement cycles; that, by means of the time measuring device, during each measurement cycle, one of the time periods is measured for each of the coincidence signals being detected during the respective measurement cycle; that the time periods measured during several of the measurement cycles of one of the measurement operations by means of the time measuring device are used to generate the measurement value of the respective measurement operation; that an adjustment of a maximum value for an event number takes place that correspond
