Abstract

UN ENCONTRADOR DE ALCANCE ELECTRO/OPTICO SOSTENIDO CON LA MANO, ENVIA PULSOS DISCRETOS DE LUZ COHERENTE A UN RETROREFLECTOR QUE ESTA COLOCADO EN UN PIVOTE DEL CAMPO DE GOLF. EL PERIODO DE TIEMPO QUE SE REQUIERE PARA QUE LOS PULSOS DE LUZ CUBRAN LA DISTANCIA ENTRE EL JUGADOR DE GOLF Y EL PIVOTE SE CONVIERTE EN UNA MEDIDA DE DISTANCIA QUE SE MUESTRA AL JUGADOR DE GOLF.
