Because the digital mode relies on ultrasonic sound waves, certain environmental factors can skew your readings:
Wait, the user mentioned "Point-N-Measure". That suggests a target acquisition system. Maybe the device uses a laser beam to focus on a specific point. The manual should explain how to position the tool, where to aim, and how it calculates the distance. Also, note if it's measuring to a surface or to a specific object point.
