Abstract
A method of laser distance measurement includes issuing a command from a single controller to a laser pulse emitter to emit a laser pulse. The method includes issuing a command from the single controller to a laser pulse detector to open for detection of a return of the laser pulse. The method includes detecting a return of the laser pulse, determining total time of travel for the laser pulse, and calculating a distance measurement based on the time of travel of the laser pulse.
