Laser Measurement Accuracy

Simple geometry has established that when given an accurate measurement of two sides of a triangle and the angle between these two sides, one can determine the length of the third side. By using the radius of the throwing arc or throwing circle, LaserLynx is able to measure an athlete’s performance without even entering the throwing area. An athlete’s performance is computed as shown in the diagram below using data entered prior to the start of the competition: the LaserLynx Station Reference Measurements and radius of the throwing circle.
