One of my friends in the construction industry owns a GM100DU laser distance range finder with USB output (about $150). It is remarkably accurate, projects a moderately bright red laser spot and claims 100m maximum range. It appears as a USB Human Interface Device (HID) under Windows. Unfortunately it only exports distance data over USB in single measurement mode when you manually press a button. It then sends a long string of text at a very slow baud rate that takes over 30 seconds. It does not export continuous distance measurements over USB. I contacted the Chinese manufacturer Benetech to see if there is some hidden "cheat code" to allow continuous data export over USB. This is the only laser distance sensor with USB or serial output that I have tried. Perhaps some of the others have continuous data export or faster single measurements. Joe
