An apparatus and method for compensating a coordinate measurement machine is provided, which may be, e.g. a laser-based coordinate measurement machine, laser tracker, or other coordinate measurement device. In one exemplary method, such compensation compri...

The device e.g. laser scanner (10), has a light transmitter (12) for transmitting a transmission light beam (18), and a light receiver (14) for receiving a reception light beam (24). An evaluation unit (16) determines a distance (d) using a run-time of the...
