Master Pace
Move at a steady, controlled pace.
Moasure LX1 measures continuously while you move between pause points. The time spent moving has a greater effect on accuracy than the distance travelled, so maintaining a smooth rhythm and pausing regularly is important.
Aim to reach your next suitable pause point while the timing feedback is still green – up to 9 seconds.
Use the Timing Feedback
The timer bar in the Moasure app and the LEDs on LX1 guide you as you move between pause points.
🟢 Green – continue moving and aim to reach your next pause point within this period
🟡 Amber – Pause Soon – find a suitable place to pause
🔴 Red flashing – Pause Now – pause immediately
For the best possible accuracy, aim to pause while the timing feedback is still green.
The audio feedback also changes as time passes, giving you an additional indication of when you need to pause without continually watching the screen.
Move at a Steady, Controlled Pace
There’s no need to rush between pause points.
Move naturally and purposefully, keeping LX1 controlled as you move through the room.
Avoid moving very slowly or hesitating unnecessarily. The aim is a smooth, consistent movement from one pause point to the next.
Remember, it’s the time LX1 spends in motion, rather than simply the distance travelled, that is important.
When You Can't Reach the Next Point in Time
Sometimes furniture, obstacles or the layout of the room may mean you can't comfortably reach the next wall or feature within the green timing window.
In this situation, you can make an ignored pause point before continuing.
Find a suitable, stable surface.
Place LX1 down with the LEDs facing upwards.
Let go and allow LX1 to become completely still.
Wait for the point to be captured.
Pick LX1 back up and continue measuring.
This is treated as an ignored pause point, so nothing is added to your floor plan.
This allows you to reset the timing and continue towards the next required wall or feature without adding an unwanted point to the floor plan.
Avoid Moving Too Slowly
Moving very slowly or hesitating between pause points increases the amount of time LX1 remains in motion.
Instead, maintain a natural, controlled pace and use the timing feedback to tell you when you need to pause.
If you know you won't comfortably reach the next required point in time, use an ignored pause point rather than rushing.
Don't Rush
The green timing window isn't a target to beat.
You don't need to move as quickly as possible between placements. Move at a pace that allows you to stay controlled and place LX1 smoothly when you reach the next pause point.
Smooth and controlled is more important than fast.
The Simple Rule
Place and pause → Move steadily → Place and pause
Aim to pause while the timing feedback is green – up to 9 seconds.
If you can't reach the next required point comfortably within that time, make an ignored pause point and then continue.
A smooth, consistent rhythm will help you achieve the best possible accuracy from Moasure LX1.
