# Measuring Time / Accuracy

Understanding how time affects your measurement is key to achieving accurate results with Moasure.

{% hint style="info" %}
This setting is only available with a Moasure 2 PRO. [Learn more about Moasure 2 PRO](https://www.moasure.com/pages/discover-moasure)
{% endhint %}

### **How Time Affects Accuracy**

Moasure measures continuously while you move, capturing data hundreds of times per second.\
Accuracy is confirmed when the device is placed completely still.

**Error increases with time, not distance.**

This means:

* The longer you move without pausing, the more error can build
* Regular pauses help maintain accuracy

***

### **Measurement Modes (Moasure 2 PRO)**

You can choose between two measurement modes depending on your priority:

#### **Highest Accuracy (6–8 seconds)**

* Pause every **6–8 seconds**
* Always pause in the **green zone** (no later than amber)
* Best for achieving the most accurate results

***

#### **Longest Time (12–16 seconds)**

* Pause every **12–16 seconds**
* Always pause in the **green zone** (no later than amber)
* Allows longer movement between points
* Results in reduced accuracy compared to Highest Accuracy

### **Maximising Measurement Accuracy**

For the best results, focus on these three key techniques:

**Pace**\
Walk at a steady, controlled pace between measurement (pause) points.

**Placement**\
Place the device down quickly and gently, without hovering.

**Rotation**\
Rotate the device smoothly, avoiding sudden or abrupt movements.

***

### **Changing Measuring Time / Accuracy**

To change your measuring mode:

1. Tap the **cog icon** in the bottom-right corner of the app
2. Tap **Measuring Options**
3. Tap **Measuring Time**
4. Select your preferred mode

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend re-starting your app when you make app setting changes
