Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. A method for measuring with a surveying device, the method comprising:
generating a distance measurement beam;
emitting the distance measurement beam into free space in an emission direction;
varying the emission direction with respect to a vertical axis as a first axis of rotation and a tilt axis as a second axis of rotation;
determining the emission direction based on:
a measured relative position with respect to the vertical axis, and
a measured relative position with respect to the tilt axis;

varying the emission direction with respect to a deflection axis as a third axis of rotation, the deflection axis being congruent to the tilt axis; and
determining the emission direction based on a measured relative position with respect to the deflection axis.
