Abstract: An electro-optical distance measurement method includes: a light emitting step of switchably outputting a first distance measuring light and a second distance measuring light; a photodetection step of receiving a first reflected distance measuring light and a second reflected distance measuring light; an arithmetic step of frequency-converting a photodetection signal to generate a first difference frequency signal and a second difference frequency signal; and a determining step of determining whether identification information indicating a host device is included in the photodetection signal, wherein the light emitting step involves driving a light emitting element so that the identification information is included in a light emission signal, and the arithmetic step involves calculating the distance value when it is determined in the determining step that the identification information is included in the photodetection signal.

Abstract: A phase difference frequency generating method comprising: cutting out a reference signal, which is a continuous signal with a predetermined frequency, in a predetermined time and at a predetermined time interval by a signal for intermitting and creating a first intermittent signal, shifting the signal for intermitting by a time corresponding to π/a (a=natural number) of a fundamental frequency of the reference signal, cutting out the reference signal in the predetermined time and at the predetermined time interval by the signal for intermitting as shifted and creating a second intermittent signal, and carrying out a restoration processing for restoring the second intermittent signal by a time as shifted.

Abstract: An electronic distance meter comprises a distance measuring light projecting module, a photodetector, a photodetection circuit, and a control arithmetic module, wherein the distance measuring light projecting module has a light emitter, the light emitter emits a distance measuring light, the photodetector receives a reflected distance measuring light from an object to be measured and produces photodetection signals, the photodetection circuit generates an intermediate frequency signal based on the photodetection signals, and the control arithmetic module controls the photodetection circuit and calculates a distance to the object to be measured based on each of the photodetection signals, and wherein the control arithmetic module coincides a frequency orthogonal to a frequency which a sampling signal has with a frequency of a feedback signal on a curve, which is acquired by performing a DFT processing on the sampling signal acquired by sampling the intermediate frequency signal.
