Abstract
A hand-held device (') for contactless distance measurement measures a distance (d) between a target object () and at least one reference point () of the device () using an emitted modulated measurement signal (). The device includes a housing () with a first end () that faces the object () to be measured, and a second end () facing away from the object () to be measured. The housing includes an output unit () for depicting measured results. Several measured distance values are to be assigned to at least one subsection of the path between the object () to be measured and the opposite end () of the housing () via a length-measurement scale () that is displayable in the output unit ().
