Abstract

L'invention concerne une unité de sortie optoélectronique (30, 31, 32, 130, 132) servant à représenter des valeurs mesurées de distance, notamment une unité de sortie optoélectronique (30, 31, 32, 130, 132) pour un compteur métreur portatif. Selon l'invention, il est prévu que l'unité de sortie (39, 31, 32, 130, 132) permette de représenter une échelle de mesure de longueurs (40, 52, 140) variable, qui varie avec la distance de mesure du dispositif par rapport à un point de référence de la mesure de distance. L'invention concerne en outre un appareil de mesure, notamment un télémètre portaitf, muni d'une telle unité de sortie optoélectronique.
