Method for determining actual states of a number of adjusting elements

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method for determining actual states of a number of adjusting elements. A position of an additional member relative to a basic member can be set by means of a number of adjusting elements. In order to determine the actual states of the adjusting elements, the additional member is firstly fixed mechanically relative to the basic member in such a way that it has only one degree of freedom. It is then possible to describe the position of the additional member relative to the basic member by means of a single scalar variable. The position of the additional member is then changed. Changes in state effected by the change in position of the additional member are detected, and the actual states of the adjusting elements are determined therefrom.
