# Measuring Time / Accuracy

{% 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 %}

With Moasure 2 Pro, you can select your preferred measurement mode to best suit your needs:

1. **Highest Accuracy (6-8 seconds)** for maximum accuracy with shorter intervals between pause points.
2. **Longest Time (12-16 seconds)** for longer intervals between pause points with reduced accuracy.

## Highest Accuracy

1. Pause every 6-8 seconds (Pause within the green zone and no later than the amber zone).
2. For users prioritising high accuracy when measuring.

## Longest Time (Between Pauses)

1. Pause every 12-16 seconds (Pause within the green zone and no later than the amber zone).
2. Allows you to walk further between pause points.
3. Reduced accuracy compared to Highest Accuracy

## Maximising Measurement Accuracy

To achieve maximum accuracy in all motion-based measurements, follow these three key techniques:

1. **Pace:** Walk at a fast pace between measurement (pause) points.
2. **Placement:** Place the Moasure device down quickly and gently without hovering.
3. **Rotation:** Rotate the device gradually, not abruptly, to avoid shocking the sensors

## Changing Measuring Time / Accuracy

To change your Measuring Time / Accuracy, follow these steps:

1. Tap on the cog wheel in the bottom right corner of the app.
2. Tap on **Measuring Options**.
3. Tap on **Measuring Time** under the Measuring Time / Accuracy heading.
4. Choose whether you would like higher accuracy or longer time between pauses.
