DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ACCURATELY OBTAINING MEASUREMENT DATA FOR POOL COVERS AND OTHER OBJECTS

The present invention provides a device and method for visually confirming at a work site the accuracy of measurements representing the shape of an object. Include is a microprocessor into which a plurality of measurements representing a plurality of reference points corresponding to the shape of the object is inputted. The device and method may also display a plurality of the reference points, either individually or as connected line segments corresponding to the measurements, This allows for the visual confirmation of the accuracy of the measurements by comparing the image displayed with the shape of the object. In addition, this may also permit an operator to notice an incorrect measurement input and make the appropriate correction.
