Abstract:
1. A method for controlling operation of a coordinate measuring device, which comprises the steps of providing a controller configured to perform on a basis of at least one operating parameter of the coordinate measuring device, said controller having a determination device for determining the at least one operating parameter intended to be valid during operation, and performing the following steps with the controller: a) determining at least one operating parameter which is intended to be valid during operation; b) assigning each of a plurality of components of the coordinate measuring device at least one of a value of the operating parameter, a rule for determining the value of the operating parameter or information for determining the value of the operating parameter; c) specifying a sequence for determining the operating parameter for the plurality of components which results in a specified determination sequence; d) when determining the operating parameter in the specified determination sequence, performing a procedure as follows for each component, the procedure starting with the component which is first in the specified determination sequence:
