# Measuring Time / Accuracy
Understanding how time affects your measurement is key to achieving accurate results with a Moasure device.

### **How Time Affects Accuracy**
Moasure devices measure 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 to 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 pause points while measuring.
**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 restarting your app when you make changes in your app settings

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.moasure.com/en/moasure-one-and-moasure-2-series/your-moasure-device/measuring-time-accuracy.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
