Abstract
A small-sized measuring device includes a position detector that is provided on a main body and detects the position of an object to be measured, a timer that measures time, and a central control unit that controls overall operation. The central control unit accepts a base-point setting standby time set by a user and stores the base-point setting standby time. The central control unit measures elapse of the base-point setting standby time after accepting an instruction to start measuring time from the user, performs a base-point setting step of setting the position of the object to be measured detected by the position detector as a base point after the base-point setting standby time has elapsed, and then measures the position of the object to be measured as a relative position from the base point.
