Abstract:
This invention allows a user to print from a laser measuring device (lidar) directly without the aid of a data processing intermediate. The laser measuring device (lidar) and printer communicate through any means possible. The user can modify the laser measuring device (lidar) printout through a program. This allows users to create a unique printout with information from the laser measuring device (lidar) for multiple purposes. Not only can the user print out text, information from the laser, but also control the printer's settings. By eliminating the need of a data processing unit to format information before printing, this technology eliminates the chance of data tampering from the laser measuring device (lidar). This technology will aid the police force and others by providing them with a more portable method of printing the laser measuring device (lidar) readings.
