A laser measuring instrument comprises a light emitter, a driver, a scanning unit, a light receiving signal processing module for detecting a reciprocating time per pulsed light of a distance measuring light and performing a distance measurement, and a timing generating circuit for issuing a timing signal, wherein the timing generating circuit is configured to issue a timing signal for making the light emitter pulse-emit in a short cycle and a timing signal for pausing a light emission, the driver is configured to make the light emitter pulse-emit according to the timing signals, a light emission time interval in the short cycle is set such that a measuring point is multiply irradiated with the pulsed light by two or more times within a time when the pulsed light passes the measuring point, and the light receiving signal processing module is configured to integrate acquired light receiving signals and to carry out the distance measurement.
A laser measuring method, wherein a scanning is performed while irradiating a pulsed distance measuring light to a measuring point, a reflected distance measuring light from said measuring point is received, a reciprocating time per pulsed light of said pulsed distance measuring light is detected with respect to said measuring point, and a distance measurement is performed based on the reciprocating time, comprising steps of setting a scanning speed and a light emission cycle of the pulsed light such that said measuring point is multiply irradiated with the pulsed light by two or more times within a time when the pulsed light passes said measuring point, integrating light receiving signals acquired by multiply irradiating the pulsed light by two or more times and carrying out the distance measurement based on the integrated light receiving signals.
