Abstract:
1. A goniometer, in particular for receiving an observation device and for determining its azimuth angle, having at least one base, which defines a standing axis, a structure, the structure being rotatable around the standing axis relative to the base, an angle encoder for determining an angular position of the structure relative to the base, and a control and processing unit, wherein the structure has a graphic electronic information display means having at least two display zones for displaying user guidance; and/or measuring information, a first of the at least two display zones of the information display means being arranged in a first radial alignment relative to the standing axis on the structure a second of the at least two display zones of the information display means being arranged in a second radial alignment, which is different from the first radial alignment, relative to the standing axis on the structure, the first radial alignment and the second radial alignment enclosing an angle of at least 90°, and the at least two display zones being automatically individually activated by the control and processing unit as a function of a fulfillment of a defined angular position criterion by a current angular position.
