Abstract

The disclosure proceeds from a system with a measurement bar and a measurement device, having at least one computation unit, an inclination measurement means and an electronic distance measurement means. The disclosure proposes that the system have a coupling apparatus which is provided for coupling the measurement bar and the measurement device such that they can be separated by an operator.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A measuring system comprising:
a measuring bar;
a measuring device including at least one arithmetic logic unit, an inclination measuring device, and an electronic distance measuring device;
a coupling device configured to releasably couple the measuring bar and the measuring device; and
a bar detecting device configured to provide at least one information item relating to a coupling of the measuring device to a measuring bar,
wherein the bar detecting device is configured to determine the at least one information item with the aid of the electronic distance measuring device.

2. The measuring system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the measuring bar defines a bar main extent,
the measuring device defines a device main extent, and
the bar main extent is at least twice as large as the device main extent.

3. The measuring system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the coupling device includes a coupling fastener positioned on the measuring bar, and
the coupling fastener is configured to fasten the measuring device on the measuring bar.

4. The measuring device of claim 1 , wherein the measuring device is configured to measure distance using a laser beam.

5. A measuring device of a measuring system comprising:
at least one arithmetic logic unit;
an inclination measuring device; and
an electronic distance measuring device,
a bar detecting device configured to provide at least one information item relating to a coupling of the measuring device to a measuring bar, and
wherein the bar detecting device is configured to determine the at least one information item with the aid of the electronic distance measuring device.

6. The measuring device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the at least one arithmetic logic unit is configured to determine a stop surface with reference to a parameter of the inclination measuring device.

7. The measuring device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the arithmetic logic unit configured to activate an angle measuring mode as a function of the at least one information item.

8. The measuring device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the arithmetic logic unit includes at least one memory configured to store at least one calibration data set for calibrating the inclination measuring device.

9. The measuring device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the arithmetic logic unit is configured to perform at least one calibration routine to generate a calibration data set of the at least one calibration data set for calibrating the inclination measuring means.

10. A measuring bar of a measuring system comprising:
a coupling fastener configured to fasten a measuring device on the measuring bar, wherein the measuring bar defines a bar main extent which is at least twice as large as a device main extent defined by the measuring device; and
an optical device configured to direct a laser beam so as to detect a coupling of the measuring bar and the measuring device.

11. The measuring bar as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising:
a recess configured to support the measuring device in at least one operating state.
