Claim 17:
18. A measuring system for acquiring measurement values by scanning, the measuring system comprising an interface for connecting the measuring system to a control unit of a machine, the machine being in the form of a machine tool or a measuring machine, the measuring system comprising a measuring instrument, the measuring system being designed to be arrangeable at a movement bar of the machine, a measurement object being able to be measured using the measuring instrument, the measuring instrument generating a measurement value when measuring the measurement object, the measuring system comprising a controller unit, the controller unit having a memory unit for storing the measurement values acquired by the measuring system, the controller unit being able to process and store the measurement value, the measuring system comprising a time generator, wherein the measuring system comprises a control module,
wherein the control module compares a time of the time generator with a specified time, and the control module triggers a trigger signal when the time of the time generator reaches or passes the specified time, and the measuring instrument terminates the value acquisition after triggering the trigger signal,
wherein the measuring system reads, requests and/or determines the specified time and stores the specified time in the memory unit of the controller unit, and afterwards starts the measurement,
wherein the measuring system is designed to read a first position coordinate of the measuring instrument arranged at the machine, acquired at the time of the trigger signal, from the machine, a temporal relationship between trigger signal and the first position coordinate being known to the measuring system, with the controller unit of the measuring system being designed to establish a temporal relationship between the first position coordinate and the first measurement value, and
wherein proceeding from the correlation of the first measurement value with the first position coordinate, the measuring system is designed to assign position coordinates to further measurement values acquired by the measuring instrument purely by virtue of a movement speed and a movement direction of the measuring instrument during the acquisition of the measurement values being known.
