A measuring device generally comprises a base unit housing an extensible cable; the cable including a free end for placement by a user at a point being measured. The base unit, placed in line of sight of the point, includes: a base; a first carriage rotationally attached to the base about a turn axis; and a second carriage rotationally attached to the first carriage about a pitch axis. Servoed motors rotate the carriages to align them with cable path to the point. The turn angle, the pitch angle and the cable length are measured to determine the point's location. A plurality of points determines a surface. The user uses a programmed PDA with a radio to communicate with the base unit. An alternative embodiment only has a first carriage.

L'invention porte sur un dispositif de mesure qui comporte d'une manière générale une unité de base recevant un câble extensible, le câble comprenant une extrémité libre pour être placée par un utilisateur au niveau d'un point qui est mesuré. L'unité de base, placée en ligne de visée du point, comprend : une base ; un premier chariot fixé de façon rotative à la base autour d'un axe de rotation, et un second chariot fixé de manière rotative au premier chariot autour d'un axe de tangage. Des servomoteurs font tourner les chariots pour les aligner avec un trajet de câble vers le point. L'angle de rotation, l'angle de tangage et la longueur de câble sont mesurés pour déterminer l'emplacement du point. Une pluralité de points déterminent une surface. L'utilisateur utilise un PDA programmé avec une radio pour communiquer avec l'unité de base. Un autre mode de réalisation na quun premier chariot.
