Quick answer

What matters first

Start with the longest real room or material run, then decide whether compact one-button measuring, adapters, corner access or data transfer changes the answer.

Scope: A detector or meter reading is supporting evidence, not clearance to drill, cut, energise or diagnose a building defect.
