The meter itself is thanks to its compact size and the slightly rubberized casing well and securely in your hand. All 7 Controls are easy to reach with your thumb. The color display has enough brightness to read it even under strong light can. The measurement results are displayed in easy to read font and big enough.
Measuring operations can be performed with the two-time pressing the corresponding key when the power is. When folding ruler or measuring tape spare the PLR30C is a very simple to use device. It should be noted, in this basic function only if the proper size of the device should be taken into account in the measurement. For this purpose there is a dedicated button that graphically indicates on the display the selected mode. Furthermore, 2 consecutive measurements can be added or subtracted. Required multiplication when calculating areas or volumes, however, takes the PLR30C in selecting the appropriate mode upon receipt of the measurement results automatically before.
As optional accessory there is an app from Bosch both Android and for iOS, which makes contact with the PLR30C via Bluetooth and transmits the measurement results for further processing. Unfortunately, the Bluetooth connection was even after several attempts to either of the two systems (Samsung Galaxy S5 & iPad Mini 2) set.
Conclusion
The Bosch PLR30C gauge my expectations fully met. While it is not a tool that I ever need, but facilitates and improves measurement occasional work considerably.
I can overlook the problems with the Bluetooth interface. To measure I need this interface is not processing the results is carried out by means of pen and paper with me.
