MEASURING METHOD, SUPPORT DEVICE AND MEASURING DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a support device for a measuring device, comprising a measuring arm (16) that can be displaced three-dimensionally in order to measure a physical measuring object (15). Said support device (11-14; 500; 700) can be positioned by means of a setting unit, which is located on the measuring arm, to provide at least one support point (32-35; 736), at which or on which the measuring object can be placed during the measuring process. The invention also relates to a measuring device (10) and a measuring method. According to the invention, the support device is equipped with at least two support feet (37; 200), each having a head end (30; 30') that corresponds with the setting device (26) in such a way that the support feet can be positioned on a base surface (36) of the measuring device with the aid of the setting unit, in addition to a coupling part (38; 538; 738) comprising coupling units (91; 591, 791) for the head ends of the support feet. The coupling part (38; 538; 738) can be mounted on the support feet once the latter have been positioned, thus providing the support point or points (32-35; 736).
