A method for positioning at least one first measurement point or one first measuring window of a first measuring device with respect to a feature locationally fixed on an object, while the object along with the feature locationally fixed thereon is moved along an adjustment track, wherein the following steps are carried out: - forming at least one first optical detection region, the current actual position of the feature fixed on the object within the at least one first optical detection region being detected by means of said at least one first optical detection region, - positioned arrangement of the at least one first measurement point or the at least one first measuring window at a predefined fixed first distance with respect to the currently determined actual position of the feature fixed on the object, - carrying out at least one measuring operation on the object at the previously positioned at least one first measurement point or the previously positioned at least one first measuring window by means of the first measuring device, wherein - at least one second optical detection region is formed, - the at least one second optical detection region is arranged behind the at least one first optical detection region in the direction of movement of the object, - the at least one first optical detection region and the at least one second optical detection region are arranged so as to overlap one another and hence an overlapping section is formed between these, - a second measuring device having at least one second measurement point or having at least one second measuring window is provided and the at least one second measurement point or the at least one second measuring window is arranged at a predefined fixed second distance with respect to the feature fixed on the object, - during detection of the actual position of the feature fixed on the object within the overlapping section between the at least one first optical detection region and the at least one second optical detection region, the first measuring device with its at least one first measurement point or its at least one first measuring window is deactivated, and - one further measuring operation is carried out on the object at the previously positioned at least one second measurement point or the previously positioned at least one second measuring window by means of the second measuring device. - forming at least one first optical detection region, the current actual position of the feature fixed on the object within the at least one first optical detection region being detected by means of said at least one first optical detection region, - positioned arrangement of the at least one first measurement point or the at least one first measuring window at a predefined fixed first distance with respect to the currently determined actual position of the feature fixed on the object, - carrying out at least one measuring operation on the object at the previously positioned at least one first measurement point or the previously positioned at least one first measuring window by means of the first measuring device, - at least one second optical detection region is formed, - the at least one second optical detection region is arranged behind the at least one first optical detection region in the direction of movement of the object, - the at least one first optical detection region and the at least one second optical detection region are arranged so as to overlap one another and hence an overlapping section is formed between these, - a second measuring device having at least one second measurement point or having at least one second measuring window is provided and the at least one second measurement point or the at least one second measuring window is arranged at a predefined fixed second distance with respect to the feature fixed on the object, - during detection of the actual position of the feature fixed on the object within the overlapping section between the at least one first optical detection region and the at least one second optical detection region, the first measuring device with its at least one first measurement point or its at least one first measuring window is deactivated, and - one further measuring operation is carried out on the object at the previously positioned at least one second measurement point or the previously positioned at least one second measuring window by means of the second measuring device.
